Hi,
Think I've figured out DB website but having trouble figuring out how/where to get back & forth across the river. I'll be staying in Boppard a few nights & 1 day I'd like to go up to Koln & back just for a quick look around near the cathedral. I'd like to stop in Linz & Konigswinter along the way.
1. How/where should I cross back & forth
2. Am I correct in thinking the R-P day pass would not work this day? Having trouble finding decent map that shows state lines And all of the areas I want to visit. Looks like Koln is over the state line....
3. Can anyone speak about Drachenburg castle & other attractions in Konigswinter? Looking at website a couple things have me confused: it lists city rail & DB as 2 different train lines that stop here...which should I be looking at? And if I take a train can I easily walk to the tram/train that goes up to the castle & lookout or are there other options I missed?
Last question, on a related note....I'll be flying into Frankfurt arriving around 9:30am Tues. considering taking a KD boat for part of way up to Boppard. What would be easiest departure port for ferry (meaning closest to train station where I could easily walk with small bag) that I can get to from airport station, hoping for direct train. Not interested in more than 2 hours or so on ferry since I'll be alone & a little jet lagged. If I go train, ferry, train that is ok as long as train & ferry stations are close enough to walk & easy to find. Please let me know if you think this is a crazy idea for arrival day, trying to fit in as much as possible but don't want to get lost or go crazy on my first day.
Thank you very much,
Carrie
