Charming village in the Rhine Valley
I just returned from a few days in Cologne and Frankfut, Germany. I spent the last day exploring the Rhine Valley by train. It takes about 1.5 hours from Cologne to Bingen. The train runs parallel along the river so you never miss a thing. The scenery is wonderful. The left bank is dotted with castles. There is a mandatory stop near Koblenz, in the town of Bacharach. It's small and very quaint, and it hardly has any shops or restaurants. It's a typical postcard village, and certainly one of the most beautiful I've seen.
