Decorated Tunnel Entrances

The entrances to the car tunnels along the Rhine look like they are mini castles or turrets on a castle.

Castle View to Castle

This is a typical view from one Castle to another across the River. Each bend in the river ha sa castle so they can see who is coming up or down the river. This is looking from the ruins of the Castle Burg Rheinfels in St. Goar. The castle in the background is across the Rhine River and is called Castle Katz in St. Goarshausen.

Burg Rheinfels

This is the ruins of the Burg Rheinfels in St. Goar. We are on the mainstreet downtown just across from the river. The towns are all built along the river and go up the mountain side.

The Lorelei Rocks

Around every bend another stone edifice stands watch over the freight barges which motor, day and night, up and down the river past the famous mighty rock called The Loreley where the long golden-haired siren’s song of legend drew love sick lusty wayward sailors crashing into the rocky shallows.

Retaining Walls

You will see this all along the Rhine River.

Long and Narrow

This is a view from the River. The Church is long and narrow.

Church on the Rhine

Just a neat looking Church on the Rhine River.
