With castles and vineyards dominating the river banks near Kaub, just five miles from the Lorelei rock, named for a siren who was said to lure sailors to their deaths, it would be easy to forget how important the area is to German tourism. In addition, it is the home of the well-known Kauber Platte Championship to be held high above the Rhine river. In its 21st edition, the show offers a combination of amateur, national and international competitions. From August, 3rd to 4th.
