Day 2 – Rüdesheim and Koblenz
This morning we moor in Rüdesheim, a delightful town which we
explore on a walking tour. We visit the world-renowned Drösselgasse
- a street lined with traditional pubs and wine cellars - and the
market square, surrounded by noble courtyards and half-timbered
buildings from the 16th century. We return to our boat for lunch
onboard as we set sail into the breathtakingly beautiful Rhine
Gorge to Koblenz. Along this scenic route we see the enchanting
Lorelei Rock, a site of local myth and legend.
After this relaxing cruise we arrive in Koblenz, where the Rhine
and Moselle rivers meet. Koblenz has ancient roots dating back to
the Romans, who established a strategic settlement and military
stronghold here in 8 BC. We take a walking tour here, wandering the
charming streets between the St Castor Basilica and the
Liebfrauenkirche (the Church of our Beloved Lady). We enjoy dinner
back on board our cruise ship and sail to Bernkastel overnight.
