Boppard

Boppard is one of the most charming cities of the Middle Rhine valley and located along the river's largest bend.

Remains from Boppard's long, rich history are evident everywhere. One can see a late Romanesque church, a Gothic church, beautiful half-timbered houses, old monasteries, courts of nobility, townsmen's homes, remains of a city wall from the Middle Ages, and a prince elector's castle that contains the city's museum with a remarkable collection of Thonet furniture. Especially noteworthy are the remains of a 4th century Roman fort, the best-preserved Roman fortifications in Germany.

Of further interest are the superior wines produced in Boppard. The grapes are grown on some of the steepest vineyards in Germany. The winegrowing area is known as the "Bopparder Hamm". The Hunsrückbahn (mountain railway) with its various tunnels and bridges ascends 326 meters in six kilometers.

Come to Boppard to enjoy a leisurely boat cruise, the chairlift with scenic views of the city and Rhine valley, the Hunsrück mountain railway, and 200 kilometers of pathways through forests and vineyards.
