Boppard, Germany Cruises

Boppard, Germany Cruise Port

• The chair lift or Sesselbahn takes you high above the town to the lookout point called Vierseenblick, or "Four-Lake View," a gorgeous vantage point of the Rhine. You can take a hiking trail down, or just take the lift back. At the top, you'll find a couple of cafés where you can enjoy the view with some cake and coffee.
   
• Saint Severus’s Church (Pfarrkirche St. Severus) in the Marktplatz has parts that date back the 12th century. This incarnation was built on top of 6th-century early Christian church, as well as over a Roman military bath. The exterior is right out of a picture postcard and the stained glass windows inside are breathtaking.
   
• For climbers, the Traumschleife Klettersteig (The Rock Climb Dream Loop) gets you loads of fresh air, and a view of possibly the most scenic bend of the Rhine. There are eleven more challenging climbing passages, or take the "rambler's version" with alternative, more gentle paths.
   
• Archaeology buffs will want to visit Roemer-Kastell Bodobrica, or the Roman castrum wall ruins not far from the marketplace and built around 4th century A.D. The walls were used into the Middle Ages and are in the process of being renovated.
