Germany's Rhine River is hundreds ofmiles long, but not all of it is the "Romantic Rhine" of guidebooks.The stretch of river where you can see castles, villages, and vineyards, runs36 miles from Koblenz in the north to Bingen in the south. [32]Visitorslike coming to this part of Germany because the scenery is actually stunning. Whetheryou travel by car, train, or boat, you'll see high hills stretching away fromthe river, topped with castles and vineyards. [33]Some of thecastles are open for touring during the tourist season, while others arehotels, hostels, or the homes of some organizations.
The best time to visit the Rhine is during the summer, when you can take fulladvantage of the sights. Traveling in a cruise yacht is more fun when you cansit in the open rather than down below. Of course, [34]be preparedfor tourist crowds during the summer.
There are several ways to travel along the Rhine. Several river cruisecompanies offer tours. It takes about two hours to cruise from St. Goar toBacharach, and most visitors agree this is the most scenic part of the RhineRiver. You can also take the train that runs between the villages in the area,and stop anywhere along the way. Another option is to drive the highway that'son the banks of the river, or ride a bicycle along a trail. [35]Ifcyclists or drivers want to get to the other side of the river, a number offerries are available to get them across.
