Quarter to ten at night and it's still quite light out. This is unusual for someone from the Washington DC area where it's pitch black by 9 p.m. At twenty past eleven it's dark. A night time view of the Rhine. The promenade in front of the hote. Morning dawned beautifully on the Rhine. This was June 21st, the first day of summer. A close-up shot of the church across the river in a village called Filsen. A view above the rooftops of Boppard. One of the many, many cruise ships that traverse the Rhine daily. And here's our cruise ship coming to take us on a short trip up the Rhine. The Goethe. A view of our hotel from the ship. The first castles we come to are above the town of Kamp-Bornhofen. The castles Sterrenberg and Liebenstein, the Enemy Brothers castles. Notice the wall in between them. Castle Sterrenberg and the Fighting Wall. Castle Liebenstein. The story is that two brothers fell in love with the same woman. In the end, neither man married her, they both died tragic deaths after years of general feuding, and she lived the rest of her life in a cloister. The beautiful Rhine valley. This section of the Rhine is called the Loreley Valley. The banks are steep and dotted with small vineyards. The Rhine is also dotted with these small villages along the banks. This is the town of Hirzenach, south of Boppard on the same side of the river. Burg Maus (literally Castle Mouse) above the village of Wellmich. The original name of the castle was Burg Peterseck (Peter's Corner). A nice view of Burg Maus. This is a fortress ruins called Rheinfels (Rhine cliffs) over the town of St. Goar. St. Goar from our cruise ship. Burg Katz above St. Goarshausen, on the opposite bank from St. Goar.
