Cologne /Koln / Köln and Mainz are about 170 km apart. The average cruise boat travels upstream (Cologne /Koln / Köln - Mainz) at about 13 to 15 kmph. The upstream journey can therefore take between 11,5 and 13 hours.

Along the 60 km of the Middle Rhine between Koblenz and Rudesheim / Bingen there about 30 castles, fortresses and ruins.

Here is a short desription of just some of the "must-see" sights between Boppard and Rudesheim:

The castle "Kurtrierische Burg" in Boppard and its museum.

Castle Liebenstein in Kamp-Bornhofen, which also houses a small, inexpensive 2- or 3-star hotel restaurant.

Castle Rheinfels in St. Goar – the largest fortress ruin in Western Germany – the museum is well worth seeing and the restaurant offers a panoramic view from its terrace.

Castle Schonburg in Oberwesel – this small 4-star castle hotel restaurant has a cosy, familiar atmosphere.

The stretch between Rudesheim / Bingen to Wiesbaden / Mainz, belonging to Rhinegau and Rhinehesse, is much flatter than the Middle Rhine. There are no castles or fortresses to be seen from the cruise boats along this route.
