Bacharach Altstadt — Attraction in Rhein-Nahe

We spent three wonderful days in Bacharach, making it our base while exploring the Rhine region, and it couldn’t have worked out better. We stayed in a lovely local Airbnb hosted by the friendliest couple who really made us feel at home with all their tips on where to eat, walk and what not to miss. Bacharach itself is such a peaceful village right on the Rhine River, surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills. We visited in spring, and the fresh green vines starting to come alive on the slopes above town made every view feel like a postcard. The town is small but full of character, with timber-framed houses, little shops, and cosy cafés where you can enjoy a coffee while watching the world go by. One of our favourite things was walking up to the Postenturm, which gives you the best views over the river and the vineyards. We also explored Stahleck Castle, perched above the town – it’s a bit of a climb, but absolutely worth it. Bacharach’s location made it easy for us to take day trips to places like the Lorelei Rock and other villages along the river. We arrived by car and found public parking just outside the old town walls, making it easy to leave the car and explore everything on foot. Spring was a perfect time to visit, with fewer crowds and everything just waking up after winter. We’d go back in a heartbeat – it’s one of those places that...

Bacharach hat eine sehr schöne Altstadt. Sie ist, wie in anderen Städten, stark von Touristen frequentiert. Tagsüber muß man mit dem PKW sehr konzentriert unterwegs sein, da viele Touristen von einer Fußgängerzone ausgehen, die es aber nicht gibt. Ab 19:00 glaubt man, im einer Geisterstadt zu sein, keine Fußgänger unterwegs, nahezu alle Restaurants sind geschlossen. U.a. beim " Kleinen Brauhaus" kann man als Gast noch angenehm verweilen. Ein großes Problem ist das Parken. Im Zentrum der Altstadt ,das ist normal, kaum Parkplätze. Aber, man kann am Rheinparkplatz und auch im Ortsteil Steeg, Tickets ziehen. Diese Tickets sind für alle ausgewiesenen Parkplätze gültig. Aber Vorsicht, ich bin darauf hereingefallen. Ein Tagesticket kostet in Steeg 4€, am Rheinparkplatz 5€. Ergo: in Steeg das Ticket ziehen , dann am Rheinparkplatz parken. Fazit: tagsüber in die Altstadt, abends nach einem Restaurant suchen, es...
