June 19, 2025,Runde Fähre Unterbach-Zons ab Monheim Altstadt

Beautiful tour through the Rhine meadows. The ferry rides and the Zons fortress provide variety. Plenty of places to stop for refreshments along the way...

We always find the Rhine beautiful.😍
Even though we've been there several times, we still enjoy it again and again.🤗
The tarte flambée and sweet potato fries at Pipwipp were very good. We highly recommend it.👍
