Relais & Châteaux
Burg Schwarzenstein
We marry in the beautiful region of the Rheingau. Lot of you are travelling to celebrate with us, either by car, plane or train, you will be soon with us to cheer!
BY CAR
Drive from the A3 motorway in the direction to Wiesbaden, then at the Wiesbadener Kreuz from the A3 to the A66. Drive through till the end of the motorway and stay on the B42, a federal road, in the direction of Rüdesheim. Leave the main road at the Johannisberg sign. After 3 kilometers you will reach Johannisberg. Then please follow the signs "Burg Schwarzenstein".
A little note on the side: The whole area of Johannisberg / Geisenheim seems to be covered with speed cameras - we will take nice souvenir photos one way or another at the wedding, so you do not need "speed camera pictures" 😉

BY TRAIN
The main train stations in the area are Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof and Mainz Hauptbahnhof, for international arrivals it is Frankfurt am Main Hauptbahnhof or even better and closer is Frankfurt Airport Fernbahnhof.
