Schierstein Harbour

Highlight • Structure

No, of course this isn't Nice or Saint-Tropez, so the boats are smaller 😄.

But the boats and small yachts are certainly beautiful to look at. Plus, it's a wonderful starting point for a walk along the Rhine towards Eltville.

Eltville

Highlight • Settlement

Eltville is less well-known than Rüdesheim, but considerably more beautiful; its streets exude pure Rheingau romance.

By the way: Gutenberg, the inventor of printing, once lived here.

Eltville's Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Towpath on the Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

The towpath is easy to cycle along, but it is too busy on weekends and public holidays. You should also find out beforehand whether there is currently high water. If so, it will flood quickly.

Highlight • Viewpoint
