Rhine River tour

The Rhine is known as Germany's father went to Germany, the river course, can not miss the opportunity to tour the river Rhine.

Just my lodging to be arranged in Cologne, belongs to the Rhine River downstream, where both sides are in the vicinity of the industrial base, looks like feeling like Shanghai Huangpu River almost (and of course our Pujiang water can be not so clear). About the original beautiful vineyards and small town scenery to go to the middle and upper Valley, the most beautiful is said to be the root object to the Loreley. But travel anterior checked many tourism information are said to the Rhine Valley of cruise ships to begin in late April, the thought that only missed. Good in Cologne to Mainz train is open along the Rhine shore Henan, can enjoy the beautiful scenery, on selected train.

Bought to Penn root (Bingen) of single journey ticket, over Europe (Germany's train is expensive!), to know that this is not what ICE car, and the whole process only about 2 hours.

Don't buy a return ticket is because I'm going to ride on return to the coast of a small town for a walk, maybe find a castle shop around before returning, later discovered that this is a very wise decision.

The train does immediately of the Rhine, especially after branch Koblenz after the scene is getting better and better, the Valley of the characteristics of the father, both sides are not high slopes of the River gradually turned into a blue-green, continue to see scattered embellished in the Castle and the river like a colored blocks out of the housing.

The disadvantage of the train tour is driving too fast, the landscape is Flash briefly, and proceed from Cologne's car to go in the side of the tracks is, so the sight is often the train stopped opposite from each other. But I found a cruise on the River, there are several boats coming and going. Therefore, eleven to Penn root first thing is to find the boat information. The good news! Penn root every day there are cruise ships, but also because there are many companies in the business, so many frequencies, out of the station turn right, walk a few minutes is Terminal. I have exactly the dock when the ship is about to open, so he didn't take a stroll in guest-root is up, bought the Loreley hometown of St. goarshausen (St. Goarshausen) ticket 12.5 euros.

After several minutes of sailing, the beauty of the way I do not more describes, the boat after each town and the Castle, there are simple in Horn, basically describes name, construction, destruction and rebuilding of the time, I was listening to forget, but the scenery is truly the Strait has really impressed me, just like a fairy tale and reality intertwined.

One and a half hours after arrival at the destination, the original St. goarshausen is in the north shore of the Rhine.

Far away I saw the hills behind the town has a beautiful castle Burg Katz, that is, I want to go and see. First town pocket in a circle, here's everything to me is fresh, housing are painted bright colors, also drew pictures, styles vary, most built in the House by the river's edge. Only very few people in the town, and asking a road quite troublesome, the root of the object. To Burg Katz from residents of the House a path upward, but unfortunately it found here is private property, not to visit, a bit of a shame, but in the path at the Rhine scenery and saw on the boat, therefore recommend everyone to climb a mountain.

Read the following distance, go to the Loreley is too far away, the Rhine ferry back to sitting of Henan St.

Goar。 There is much to be lively, with many shops there is a visitor centre, leyouyou in town also pocket a circle, a taste of the characteristic Dim finally went to the mountains of Castle Rheinfels (tickets 4 euro, also comes with a detailed explanation in English). Finally let me into the mystery of the ancient castle, the Sun begins at this point, the ruins of West ramp Sunglass more bleak. You know very little about the history here, and not much interested to study the explanation (if it is a Chinese I will read it), but the huge Castle walk was satisfy my curiosity. Because here is almost the commanding heights of the town, overlooking the town and the Rhine River, line of sight is open, so I missed.

You leave the Castle, at half past five in the afternoon to the railway station is found here is a small station, actually there is no ticket office (or the ticket office is closed?), you can only buy tickets from the ticket vending machines.

On the next, as if only to Koblenz train every hour, 6 euros.

Fast only seven to Koblenz, suddenly remembered an Horn of Germany (Deutsches Eck), both in for a destination.

Outbound right bus station take bus to 1 (direction don't mistake), fare 1.45 euros. Ten minutes after the car in Germany people had been known as the mother River of the Moselle river, take a few minutes of angle is the Deutsche, namely the Moselle and Rhine River meet. Here actually is a square, in the middle of the stage was also Williams high statue of the emperor. Climb high, landscape better — you can see the color slightly different Moselle river gradually into the Rhine River in straight stream, another way is the sunset of Balduin bridge and river boat, and then change the angle is Koblenz city, eyes and could see many of the Church. I've been staying in the Horn of Germany to the Sun to return the station to end a day tour to the Rhine.
