This youth hostel is so brilliant. There you can dive into the world of knights and princesses again. Simply awesome, to stay here.

From Bacharach up into the vineyards and further along the Rhine to St. Goar, where we rewarded ourselves with a break and delicious ice cream. A really beautiful area 👌. Then back along the Rhine to our parking spot right on the Rhine 👍 Greetings Gudrun 🤗
