This beautiful area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with dozens of castles, hills covered with vineyards, and charming towns. One of my favorite places to stay in the world is Burghotel auf Schonburg- a beautifully restored castle that dates back over 1,000 years. The castle has been immaculately restored- several rooms include balconies overlooking the Rhine River or surrounding vineyards and one room has a bathroom hidden behind a bookshelf!
You can explore this area by driving from town to town, taking a train, biking along the river, or taking a ferry boat.
