A Journey through the Centuries
Come to the valley of the Middle Rhine. Here you can discover the magic of historically shaped cities and villages. Ancient walls, castles, palaces, churches, and winding alleys with cobblestone streets take you on a journey back in time...
Charm and Flair of the Places Attract Travelers
Bacharach, Linz am Rhein, and Bingen are world-famous for their cozy atmosphere and medieval charm. Who doesn't know the Drosselgasse in Rüdesheim, which attracts many thousands of visitors every year with its pretty half-timbered houses? But also stately villas and magnificent hotels testify to flourishing trade and the popularity of the Middle Rhine as a travel destination for well-heeled guests.
Castles and Palaces Enchant
Often a castle towers above the place, as in Oberwesel or St. Goar. Koblenz and Boppard were founded by the Romans. Buildings, ruins, and archaeological finds from this period still bear witness to this today. There are many interesting museums that tell of it.
The Romans Brought the Wine
And it was also the Romans who cultivated viticulture along the Rhine. Riesling, Burgundy, and other wines from the Middle Rhine are coveted worldwide for their character and quality. You can enjoy them in local gastronomy or directly at a wine tasting with the winemaker.
