St. Goar - The Rhine Valley 2010 | |
 |
This is a six night holiday in the only hotel actually situated on the bank of the Rhine,
just north of St. Goar. The pretty small town is dominated by Rheinfels Castle, well worth a visit.
You can walk through the vineyards above the river, along the Rhein Heights Way or the Rhine Castles Trail.
For cyclists there is the Rhine Cycle Way along the river. This is a relaxing single centre holiday. While the basic package is 6 nights, you can have a shorter or longer holiday if you wish.

Hotel Landsknecht The Hotel Landsknecht is a family run 3* hotel, officially accredited as a walker's hotel, and set on the bank of the river a mile to the north of St. Goar. It is the only hotel on this part of the river to have a terrace directly on the river. |

From the hotel there are fine views of Maus Castle and the vineyards
on the opposite bank. The Lorenz family not only run a fine, friendly
hotel, but also make fine wines in Boppard, which you can enjoy in the
restaurant, or taste and buy in the Vinothek. The hotel also has two self-catering apartments, if you prefer this type of accommodation. |
