St. Goar - The Rhine Valley 2012

In the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Region
Map of Upper Middle Rhine This is a six night holiday in the only hotel situated right on the bank of the Middle Rhine, just north of St. Goar. The pretty small town is dominated by Rheinfels Castle, which is well worth a visit. The hotel is also just a few miles north of where Julia Bradbury finished her walk along the Rhine in the BBC TV German Wanderlust.

While here you can walk through the vineyards above the river, along the Rhine Heights Way or the Rhine Castles Trail, while 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.

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.
