Rhine River Wine Country

19XX

A quick view of the Main River east of Frankfurt, as we drive from Rothenburg to the Rhine River wine country. We crossed the Main river on this little ferry. The "Main" River ... you know, we just had to take a look!

Now we're in Bacharach on the Rhine River. This is the view from our hotel window overlooking the Rhine River.

Two views out our hotel window. On the left, our great view of the Rhine and its frequent barge traffic. On the right, you can see we are right next to the train tracks. The hotel's remarkable windows, when closed, did a great job of keeping out the noise of the many trains rushing by.

Downtown central plaza of the small town of Bacharach.

The heights of floods from the Rhine River over the centuries are marked on the city walls.

Exterior, Bacharach Protestant church.

Interior, Bacharach Church.

Emblem over the door of the Bacharach post office. 1936 would seem significant, as that was the heart of the Nazi era.

Door of the old city hall, now the tourist info bureau.

The oldest house in town, "Altes Haus" (Old House) dates from 1368.

Front door, Atles Haus.

Town street, Bacharach.

I like interesting and different sundials. This one shows a view of Bacharach from the river.

The ruins of Werne Kapelle (chapel) seen from the courtyard of the old city hall.
