High above the town’s upriver edge is the majestic Schönburg, saved from total ruin when a New York real-estate millionaire purchased it in 1885. It’s now a hotel.
Legend has it that this was once the home of seven beautiful but haughty sisters who ridiculed and rejected all potential suitors until all seven were turned into stone and submerged in the Rhine. You may be able to spot them from the Siebenjungenfraublick (Seven Virgins Viewpoint), reached via a lovely vineyard trail beginning at the town’s downriver edge.
