Bacharach, Germany

 It's always cool when you have to enter the city through the old city walls!

We rolled in at dusk, and so the town was a bit quiet.

One of the old churches.

Malerwinkle is very picturesque.

It's like staying in a gingerbread house.

You pay with cash, but we LOVED the 3 separate beds with clean bedding and bathroom.

And our window was right above the creek.  So we had fresh air and the sound of the running water all night.

The walking path into town is a duck under style.  The stream is to the left.

How does that bridge hold up?

The garden at late dusk.

The walk to town was quick.

Every little place is picturesque!

And finally, BEER!

Another old church lit up at night.

And if you're drunk, it's easy to find the place again!

Looking out the window in the morning.

There was plenty of free parking.

I couldn't read what it actually said.

Electricity even looks quaint here!

The place in early morning.  It had an incredible breakfast spread, as well.  I could have stayed another night at least!

Another old city wall entrance by the hotel.

William and Tim hiked up to the castle on the hill from our hotel.

It is actually a youth hostel.

Not an insignificant climb.

William loves to hike and climb.

Looking down at the vineyard.

Lots of beautiful arches on the hike up.

More duck pride.

Again, all the beauty along the walking path up.

From the hostel looking down.

 Pretty nice place to stay!

With an incredible view.

It was lit up last night, now William is showing us the old church.
