  • Rhine Valley

    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.

Much of the Cedar River Water Trail is lined with public lands and classified as meandered, meaning that BLACK HAWK COUNTY paddlers may access not only BLACK HAWK the river itself but also the COUNTY river bottom and banks along its course. However, north of Washington Park, the river is classified as non-meandered, meaning that the river bed and surrounding land are owned by the adjacent landowners and paddlers should respect their property rights. BLACK HAWK COUNTY THE CEDAR RIVER - WILDNESS AND CIVILIZATION The Cedar River Water Trail offers a unique paddling experience amongst Iowa’s designated water trails. A journey down the 47 miles of the trail features dramatically contrasting settings, with the wildness of forested bottomlands rich with diverse plant, wildlife, and bird species giving way to historic urban environments. Paddlers are offered an opportunity to explore the downtowns of two major Iowa cities before returning again to the river’s pastoral setting. Traversing the county’s widest stream, its landscape, and lore may feel like time travel at times.
