View of Rheinfels Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Both the view of Rheinfels Castle and the view from the castle are worthwhile. The ferry between St. Goar and St. Goarshausen can be used to change the Rhine bank.

The Boppard ferry connects Boppard with Filsen. The Rhine crossing is not only a nice change, but also a romantic special feature on this round trip. When crossing, you can see the Boppard Rhine promenade.

March 26, 2025,Fahrradtour St. Goarshausen - Koblenz

The weather forecast was wrong again today! It was forecast for 13-15 degrees, but in reality it was only 8 degrees. From Filsen onwards, the cycle paths and roads are in terrible condition, and the permanent construction sites around Koblenz seem endless! After Koblenz, near the Koblenzer brewery, the cycle path towards Boppard as far as Stolzenfels was closed, with …

July 24, 2022,Welterbe oberes Mittelrheintal: Von Lahnstein zur Burg Pfalzgrafenstein und zurück bis Koblenz

The upper Middle Rhine Valley, which covers the section from Koblenz to Bingen, is impressive with its overwhelming abundance of castles and castle ruins, medieval city centers and walls, vineyards and many other sights. I only made it to Kaub and back today because it was too warm for top performance at 30°C and I didn't set off until midday …

No, today there was no fog, it was just hazy, let's go to the Loreley! 💪🏻😇

Simply along the Rhine to St. Goar and with the ferry over to St. Goarshausen and up to the Loreley.

Just nice and quiet and comfortable or a little "uncomfortable" we went up to the Loreley, but "man" has a motor (but I "only" …

It felt like we were always on the "wrong" side of the Rhine. Unfortunately, the bike path is right next to the main road.

May 27, 2025,St. Goar – Koblenz

The first highlight of this stretch of the Rhine was the wind at our backs. It was like gliding along. The real highlight, however, came in Boppard – here you could take a chairlift up to the Rheinschleifenblick and Vierseenblick views, or, of course, hike up. A fantastic view from above. We then had to walk down unplanned, as the …
