From Filsen you have a wonderful view of the other side of the Rhine. Before you take the ferry, you should enjoy the Boppart silhouette.

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.

Satisfied, …
