β€œHiked up to the Postenturm Bacharach, continued through the Vineyards, open fields, then forest. The first part was steep but it was flat afterwards. Loved the view from the top, much more spectacular than the one from Boppard, and then the open fields were just so soothing. I didnt like the forest part as much so should have gone right where there were more fields as compared the the left, but it was still great overall!”

β€œTook the KD ferry to Koblenz instead (dock was right in front of the hotel!). It was a relaxing 2hour-ish (if I recall correctly) ride, very chill. You can order drinks and snacks on board, I didnt know so I already had coffee and pastry from a cafe before boarding, but got an apple strudel on board just to chill.”

β€œMany evenings were spent chilling at the riverside and then walking 30 seconds back to the hotel where I chilled even more at the balcony till sunset. Note that you can hear the trains running at the opposite bank even at night, though it was not a big deal for me once I fell asleep.”
