Kaub

Why visit

Visit Kaub for the Rhine setting and Pfalzgrafenstein Castle. This is one of those small river stops where the town, ferry rhythm, hillside, rail line, and castle all explain each other. It makes sense inside a Middle Rhine route, especially if castles and river towns are already the structure of the day.

When to avoid

Do not visit Kaub as a standalone city break. It is a compact Rhine stop with one very clear anchor. Ferry schedules, river weather, and train timing can decide whether the visit feels easy or awkward. Check the practical pieces before building the day around the castle.
