I'd like some comments on a part of our trip to Germany in the fall.
Prior to planning this, I have spent some time on both the Fodor & RS forums plus reading a few guide books for input.
Two "senior", but relatively active couples will arrive via an overnight flight from the States in Frankfort, rent a car & be moving by late morning on day 1. We will drive to Oberwesel or St Goar (recommendations on preference?) to stretch our legs for a few hours before jet lag kicks in & then do the short drive to Bacharach for the night.
On day 2 we plan to drive down to Bingen, hop on a river boat & cruise up to Braubach (or should we get off the cruise in St. Goarshausen & take the train to Brubach?) in time to make the 1PM English tour of the Marksburg castle. Afterwards, after some time in Braubach, we would take the train down the east bank of the Rhine to Bingen (there is a ferry to get across the river.....right?) & return to Bacharach for the night.
RS's book does not list a hotel in Braubach with elevators......we are active "seniors", but not that active. Any recommendations?
On day 3, we would begin our drive to the Black Forest & afterwards to Bavaria.......but that is another plan for another day.....we are not going until October.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
