Route in northern direction to Lorelei rock, St. Goar and castle Rheinfels:

By leaving of the Rhine river bank you'll view towards the medieval town picture with its gothic churches St. Martin and Liebfrauen surrounded by the old town wall, which is mounted from a multiplicity of defence towers. The 1000-year-old castle Schonburg watches over the town Oberwesel.

Passed the steep vine slopes of the middle Rhine river you'll reach the Loreley rock.

In early times, many a ships sank here.

It was reported to have been a pretty, naked, blonde woman, who distracted the skippers from their work through her songs and by doing this, thrust many a ship into ruins.

Through the narrowness of the river bed, the Rhine river was in fact within living memory a dangerous challenge for the navigation.

Further downstream on the right Rhine river side, the castle Katz (cat) rises over the town of St. Goarshausen.

On the left side of the Rhine river banks lies the skipper town of St. Goar.

With the miniature train it goes back to the boat landing stage and then with the ship back to Oberwesel.

It was constructed from king Ludwig the Bavarian in the year 1327 and was the central point of history in the New Year's night of 1813-1814, as general von Blucher overstepped the Rhine river with his prussian troops. >From here he ended the governance of Napoleon over Europe for good.

Next stop is the old vine grape grower town and wine trade town of Bacharach. The medieval town picture is stamped by the church St. Peter from the 13th century, the ruin of the Werner chapel and the numerous defence towers. The castle Stahleck thrones over the town.
