View towards the town of Bacharach on the Rhine river, which has existed before the
Romans and whose name can be lead back to the celtic settlement - Baccaracum. Thefirst
documentary mention of the town was in the year 923.
In the background you can also see (from left to right) Peterskirche (church of St.
Peter), Wernerkapelle (ruin of Werner chapel) and Liebesturm (tower of love).
Right on the Rhine hills is castle Stahleck - whose exact accruement time isn't
known, but it's been proved that the castle was already inhabited in the year 1095. Big picture
"Gasthaus Stahl is a real gem of a place, in that
wonderful, scenic location up in the hills above the Rhine, in classic tiny Dellhofen
village, yet only minutes away from the walled cities of Oberwesel and Bacharach, right on
the river.
There are enough castles and other places of interest within 30-90 minutes of
pleasant driving to keep tourists busy for a long time, but the serenity of the inn itself
is the best feature.
The rooms are so classic, yet they have all the modern touches we need. The
furnishings and atmosphere of the inn are from times we thought had gone past, and it was
great to just soak in the gemutlichkeit! ... "

The old brick arch wine cellar of the Winery
Stahl, in which the wines are stored; the wine grapes are self-grown and
the wines are self-made. Wine tasting for groups up to 30 people in the brick arch wine
cellar. You'll become a romantic feeling with the lights off and set aglow in candlelight.
"The wine tasting at Weingut Stahl is truly
educational, with more varieties of flavorful German wines than most Americans ever
realize exist. I think that is worth the trip in itself."

castle Katz, Lorelei rock, Oberwesel with castle Schonburg, Kaub with castle Gutenfels and
water castle Pfalz, Trechtingshausen with castle Reichenstein, Assmannshausen with cable
car to the Rhine hills with Niederwald monument, Bingen with castle Klopp and Rudesheim
with another cable car to the Rhine hills and Niederwald monument. Big picture Bacharach Market place
The market place in Bacharach with view on just a few of the many half-timbered houses you
can admire during your stay in the adorable town. On the left, the famous "Old
house". In the background the "Kurpfalzische Munze" (gold and silver money
was made there in the middle ages). Big picture
Bacharach
Posthof and ruin of Werner chapel
The comfortable and snug Bacharach Posthof (post yard) where you can relax with view on
the ruins of the Werner chapel in the background, which deems as a landmark of the town
Bacharach. Apart from the matter of course to keep the most possible remains of artist
work of past eras, there are 3 more special reasons for the preservation of the Werner
chapel: in the still existing perpetuity in the form you can see today: its memorable
formation in coherence with chaotic and awful excesses against the Jews, its meaning as a
high Gothic work of art and its reception in the age of the romanticism. Big picture
Bacharach Market
tower
The market tower (Marktturm) is one of the 10 towers which used to be part of the town
