Rheinbrohl (Latin origin of the name: Broele trans Rhenum) is a municipality in the territorial collectivity (Verbandsgemeinde) of Bad Hönningen, in the district of Neuwied, in Rhineland-Palatinate, in western Germany.
[3] Rheinbrohl is a wine village of the Rhine valley, located on the east bank, opposite Brohl-Lützing, and south of the spa town of Bad Hönningen.
From the geological point of view, the rock of the Rheinbrohler Ley, which overhangs the Rhine to the south of the village, can be considered as forming the southern end of the valley opening, called Linz-Hönninger Talweitung, while the part to the east of the municipal territory is located on the wooded ridge of the Rhein-Wied-Rücken which separates the Rhine valley from that of its tributary, the Wied.
The highest point of this ridge is the Malberg at an altitude of nearly 373 m. In Rheinbrohl began the Limes of Upper Germania, built by the Romans, whose route has been officially listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since July 15, 2005.
[5] Rheinbrohl is crossed from south to north by the bike route EuroVelo 15 which runs all along the Rhine banks, from its source in Switzerland to its mouth area in the Netherlands.
