I took the photo from the train (Rhaetian Railway), when travelling from Chur towards Ilanz, Grisons, Switzerland. The Rhine gorge is largely inaccessible by road, but one can visit it by train or hiking. It is a popular location for rafting and kayaking.

The Emmerich Rhine Bridge (German: Rheinbrücke Emmerich) is a suspension bridge located in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany. Completed in 1965, it has a main span of 500 metres (1,600 ft), crossing the Rhine, carrying the Bundesstraße B 220, the federal highway between Emmerich am Rhein and Kleve. It is the longest suspension bridge in Germany.
So-called shut-down of public life helped to overview great parts of Lower Rhine Area normally absorbed by air pollution..

Bacharach, Germany
The Postenturm,
Once part of the Bacharacher city fortification, is now a popular lookout tower. Surrounded by vineyards, it offers a great view of the city, the opposite Wernerkapelle and the castle Stahleck.
The Werner Chapel
The ruins of a high Gothic central building in the vineyards above the Peterskirche used to be a much visited pilgrimage chapel. It was built shortly after 1287.
The reason for the construction was the murder of a boy Werner, whose body had been found in the Holy Week in 1287.
Death was blamed without any proof of the Jewish community of Oberwesel. The result was an unbridled persecution of the Jews, in which over 40 people died.
Because of this pogrom, a chapel consecrated to this Werner was erected.
Peter Church
The architecture of St. Peter's Church shows the transition from the late Rhine Romanesque to the Gothic style.
The church was built in the period from the end of the 12th century to 1269 as a three-aisled gallery basilica and renewed at the end of the 19th century.

The city of Koblenz is located at the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel rivers, which makes it perfect for going on boat cruises. This is from our trip to Boppard on the Middle Rhine.

An iconic view along the Rhine River. Sorry for my absence from Flickr, I have been having some computer issues as of late, but hope to have them fixed soon!
