Rhine Valley
RHINE VALLEY The Rhine Valley is storybook Germany, a fairytale world of legends and robber-baron castles. Cruise the most castle-studded stretch of the romantic Rhine as you listen for the song of the treacherous Loreley. Explore the castle-crowned villages of Bacharach and St. Goar. And for real hands-on castle thrills, roll or stroll through this Rhineland’s greatest castle, Rheinfels. Nearby destinations—Köln and Frankfurt—oﬀer a modern, big- city German experience, and much better accessibility than those quaint Rhine villages. Köln is an urban Jacuzzi that keeps the Rhine churning. It’s home to Germany’s greatest Gothic cathedral and its best collection of Roman artifacts, a world-class art museum, and a healthy dose of German urban playfulness. And Frankfurt, while not on the Rhine, is the closest major transportation hub. Many Americans stream in to and out of Europe through Frankfurt’s huge airport—but consider staying for a while to check out the city’s lively square and gaze at its towering skyscrapers. Accessibility in the Rhine Valley The Rhine Valley is the least accessible destination covered in this book. Though beautiful and enticing, the Rhine Valley presents wheelchair riders with many barriers: steep hillside villages, lots of stairs and nar- row passageways, small train stations with stairs instead of elevators, and unevenly cobbled public spaces. Slow walkers have a few more options. The big city of Köln oﬀers the best accessibility, from the train sta- tion and hotels to its best sights. From there, accessibility goes down as quaintness goes up: Mid-sized Rhine towns like Koblenz have more 18_RSEZA06_Rhine.indd 486 3/16/06 5:54:59 PM Rhine Valley 487 Rhine Overview barriers, and Bacharach and St.

48 Hours in DJH Stahleck Hostel
nt adve urep ily ro m je fa c . t . w o r w g w The Family Adventure Project’s guide to Castle Hostels of Germany 48 hours around Burg Stahleck and the Middle Rhine Castle Hostels of Germany How would you like to spend a night in a castle? Or take a road trip combining castles, palaces and forts? There are more historic hilltop residences offering beds to travellers in Germany than you might imagine, thanks to the extensive network of Jugendherberge hostels. Castle Hostels Road Trip We had no idea when we set out on our road trip of German Castle Hostels how much choice we would have, how many faraway hills we would sleep on, and how magical the hostels would be – thanks in part to the number of Harry Potter conventions we ran into. Well, what better place than a castle? For the last century the German Youth Hostel Association has been refurbishing former grand or royal buildings specifically for families and groups. We set out to explore five of them to produce this series of guides which we hope will help you to do the same. We chose a range of different locations with ideally no more than three hours drive between them. We stayed for 48 hours in each and explored as much of the area as we could. In the pages that follow we describe the unique character of the hostel, profile what there is to do and give you the low down on why we think each one is worth a visit.

Einzelpreis 1,00 € Ausgabe Nr. 6 03. Juli bis 29. August 2021 Liebfrauen/St. Martin St. Alban St. Stephan St. Johannes d. Täufer St. Goar Oberwesel Perscheid Niederburg Damscheid St. Goar Gott will, dass wir fröhlich sind, und hasst die Traurigkeit. Denn wenn er wollte, dass wir traurig sein sollten, gäbe er nicht die Sonne, Mond und die Früchte der Erde, gäbe er Finsternis, ließe nicht mehr die Sonne auf- gehen und den Sommer zurück- kehren. Martin Luther Gott will, dass wir fröhlich sind Die Ferien stehen vor der Tür. Wahrscheinlich wurden sie von vielen noch nie so ersehnt wie in diesem Jahr nach mehr als einem Jahr Pan- demie und Einschränkungen. Gott hat uns die Zeit geschenkt. Von Eile hat er nichts gesagt, so heißt eine alte Weisheit. Es ist auch eine Kunst, freie Zeit richtig zu nutzen und nicht mit allen möglichen Aktivitäten vollzustopfen. Es sollte schon ein Unterschied sein zwischen den Anforderungen des Schul- und Berufsle- bens und der freien Zeit. Schließlich will Gott, dass wir fröhlich sind. In diesem Jahr lesen wir das Markusevangelium in den Sonntagsgottes- diensten. Es eignet sich besonders, dass Sie es auch für sich allein lesen. Vielleicht finden Sie ja eine Bibel an ihrem Urlaubsort vor oder zuhause. Lesen Sie einmal das ein oder andere Kapitel. Meist erschließt sich das Verständnis nach einigem Nachdenken von selbst. Schrittweise wollen wir die Zahl der Gottesdienste etwas erhöhen, mit den Werktagsgottesdiensten haben wir ja bereits wieder begonnen. Die Zahl der Gottesdienste hängt auch davon ab, wie sie nach dem Ende der Einschränkungen angenommen werden. Noch ist dieses Ende nicht in Sicht.
