Bacharach, Rhineland-Palatinate (1) – The Town (Day Nine)
Along the Rhine River, there is a 36-miles stretch between Mainz and Klobenz that is popular for the riverboat cruises. These cruises will carry you through beautiful hillside wine country. Nestled between these two places sits a small town called Bacharach. We decided to take the train along this stretch instead so we can stop and walk the hills to be up close and personal. A small population of just over 2,000, its’ picturesque setting is beautiful and breathtaking.
The small town of Lorch is located on the other side of the Rhine. This is a view from the top of a hillside in Bacharach.
