【Rhine River Cruise】A Journey from Rüdesheim to Explore Ancient Castles

One of the highlights of sightseeing in Germany is the UNESCO World Heritage Rhine River Cruise. I embarked from Rüdesheim and enjoyed the route to Sankt Goarshausen! 🚢 Highlights of the Cruise - A fairytale-like scenery with medieval castles and vineyards appearing one after another ✨ - Charming towns and colorful houses scattered along the river - Stepping out onto the deck to feel the breeze and take photos is simply the best 📸 🏰 Must-See Spots - Mouse Tower: A small tower built on an islet, tied to local legends - Rheinstein Castle: A Gothic-style castle perched atop a cliff - Katz Castle & Maus Castle: Unique castles near Sankt Goarshausen that face each other 🎟️ Tickets & Duration - Duration: Approximately 2 to 2.5 hours - Major cruise companies available; tickets can also be purchased locally - Deck seats are popular, so securing a spot early is recommended 🍽️ Onboard Services Light snacks and drinks are available for purchase, making it enjoyable to sip beer while cruising! 🍺 🚉 Access - Rüdesheim is about an hour by train from Frankfurt - Sankt Goarshausen Station is conveniently located right after disembarking (However, there are few shops nearby, so Sankt Goar Station might be better for souvenir shops and tourist spots) How about a journey on the river? 🚢💖
