Flying a drone near Reichsburg Cochem is generally restricted due to regulations around historical sites and nature reserves in Germany. The area is often within controlled airspace, and permission from local authorities or the aviation office may be required. There are also altitude limits, typically around 100 meters (328 feet) in non-controlled areas, but this could be lower near the castle. Privacy laws prevent flying over crowds, and environmental protections are in place for nearby nature reserves, which could limit drone access. If your drone weighs over 250g, it must be registered, and you need to carry proof of registration. Always check for updated regulations and use apps like Droniq or AirMap to verify no-fly zones before flying.
