Koblenz, Scenic Castle Sailing & Rüdesheim

June 24, 2023 - Reading time: 3 minutes

Morning:  Toured the lovely town of Koblenz with the fragrant scent of Linden tree blossoms filling the air.  Colorful gardens, window boxes of flowers, and interesting sculptures around every corner. We were so very moved to find our first set of stumbling stone markers in memorial to the victims who perished under Nazi regime of WWII. 


 
Afternoon:  Scenic sailing on the top deck with castle after castle along the 3 hour Rhine River route.  Beautiful vineyards along the terraced hillsides.  

Evening:  Strolling through Rüdesheim shops and enjoying authentic schnitzel with red pepper chili pomme frites.  Afterwards, watching the sunset over the hills at a quaint little wine garden we passed on the way back to the ship.
