Braubach

Nestled among lush vineyards and forests, this gem of a medieval town dates back 1300 years and boasts the most picturesque and dramatically positioned castle along the Rhine. Lined with picture-perfect half-timbered buildings, the charming Marktplatz, in the center of town, is the place to relax, grab a drink or a bite, and take in the scenery.
