Bad Honnef: Bad Honnef is a lively town of historic charm, with a variety of old half-timbered houses as well as buildings dating from the Classical period and late 19th century. It enjoys an enviable location between Siebengebirge National Park and the Rhine river. The most famous district of Bad Honnef is Rhöndorf, where the former residence of Dr. Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, is located. Boppard: Boppard offers a host of attractions to its visitors, with its splendid river promenade, well preserved Roman and medieval town fortifications, the historic noble houses, churches, former monastries and an unusual museum. Not to be missed is the chairlift ride to the "Vierseenblick", the view of the four lakes or the train ride with Hunsrück Mountain Railway. Rüdesheim-am-Rhein: Rüdesheim, the heart of the Rheingau region, is one of the most visited towns in Germany. The quaint Drosselgasse, just six feet wide, is always bustling and lively. A cable car ride to the Niederwald monument and falconry is a real delight. The Winzerexpress, a miniature train, winds through the vineyards on sightseeing tours. Siegfried's Mechanical Music Museum, in the historical Brömserhof, houses one of the largest collections of self-playing musical instruments. The room and vaults of the 100 year old Brömserburg castle are home to the Rheingau folk and wine museum and from the top of its tower, the visitor is offered a truly magnificent panorama. |
