Tag Fünfundzwanzig – 28 von Juli 2015: Rhine River

Coming soon...

Looking north on the Rhine River from Boppard towards Koblenz.

Looking south on the Rhine River from the deck of our riverboat, the Loreley Star. 
Rheinfels Fortress, built in 1245, is now a 5-star hotel and restaurant.
Castle Maus, also called Thurnberg, which was built between 1353 and 1388.

This building is called "Klosterschenke."  The front, white part is a tavern, or "lokal".  The rear, yellow part is a church.  You can only get into the church by going through the tavern.  Oh, the priest is also the bartender.  He definitely serves his parishioners.

Burg Sterrenberg (left) and Burg Liebenstein (right), also known as "The Hostile Brothers."  Click here to read the legend of these two castles separated by a stone wall. 

A cloudy day on the middle Rhine River, also known as the "Romantic Rhine," a UNESCO heritage site.
