Marksburg is one of the most celebrated castles on the Rhine, and for a very particular reason: of the many fortresses that once guarded the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, it is the only hilltop castle never to have been destroyed. Standing on a steep cone of rock some 150 metres above the little town of Braubach, on the river’s right bank between Koblenz and the Loreley, it survived even the French campaigns of the late 17th century that reduced most of its neighbours to picturesque ruins. Begun around 1100 and expanded through the Gothic centuries, it preserves a complete medieval layout of towers, halls, gates and gun batteries, and since 1900 it has served as the seat of the German Castles Association (Deutsche Burgenvereinigung). Together with the rest of the Rhine Gorge, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosa vedere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because it can be visited only on a guided tour, Marksburg offers an unusually vivid walk through a genuine medieval fortress. The route climbs from the outer gates up the steep \u201cRider’s Stairway,\u201d cut in places straight into the bare rock, and passes through a sequence of defensive gateways to the great keep (Bergfried) that crowns the summit. Inside, visitors see the Gothic hall, the chapel set in its tower, the smoke-blackened medieval kitchen with its huge hearth, the wine cellar and the bedchamber, all furnished to evoke daily life in the Middle Ages. One of the most memorable rooms holds a collection of historic armour tracing the warrior’s harness across many centuries, while the battery terrace bristles with old bronze and iron cannon. From the ramparts and the little garden of medicinal herbs there are magnificent views up and down the Rhine and over Braubach’s slate roofs far below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come arrivare e informazioni pratiche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Marksburg sorge sopra Braubach sulla riva destra del Reno, a circa 13 chilometri a monte di Coblenza. Braubach ha una propria stazione sulla pittoresca ferrovia della riva destra del Reno, con treni regionali da Coblenza che impiegano solo circa quindici minuti; da l\u00ec, una passeggiata in salita ben segnalata di circa venti-trenta minuti conduce al castello, oppure si pu\u00f2 raggiungere in auto il parcheggio situato appena sotto i cancelli. Nei mesi pi\u00f9 caldi, la citt\u00e0 \u00e8 raggiungibile anche con le imbarcazioni turistiche sul Reno. Il castello \u00e8 aperto tutti i giorni per visite guidate durante tutto l'anno, con visite in inglese a orari prestabiliti durante l'alta stagione, e all'ingresso si trova una taverna. Poich\u00e9 i sentieri e le scale interne sono ripidi e irregolari, si consiglia di indossare scarpe robuste e l'interno non \u00e8 adatto a visitatori con mobilit\u00e0 ridotta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
