Altstadt Bacharach

The harvest crown is the tourist center of Bacharach, a picturesque picture of the half-timbered houses. The cars belonged here banished, noise and parked areas ...

The whole place with its half-timbered houses and alleys is worth seeing.

The "Old House", built in 1586, is one of the most famous medieval half-timbered houses on the Rhine, dating back to 1368, according to the inscription on the house.

While the majority of the old town houses were destroyed by a series of heavy city fires at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the "Old House" preserved in almost all parts the rich character of the Rhenish half-timbered. It has four gables, corner towers and rococo doors.

In the old town of Bacharach there are some very beautiful old half-timbered houses. This stands out with its crooked bay tower on the side. Very nice photo opportunity.

A beautiful building in the Oberstraße is the old historic Posthof. The sprawling Renaissance complex with its late medieval Winand tower is definitely worth seeing. The restaurant and access to the building is currently closed.

Bachach is one of the most beautiful places in the Middle Rhine Valley. Great half-timbered houses, city walls and towers. A tour is worth - and a visit to one of the many wine bars also.
Above all stands the castle Stahleck, which is today a youth hostel.
Unfortunately, Bacharach has the problems of all places in the Middle Rhine Valley, the traffic and the corresponding noise - both on the road and on the rail ...

Great atmosphere with nice restaurants.

One of the three city gates, beautifully spruced up.
