...We claimed our bags... breezed through customs... and headed for Terminal 1 to catch the train to Oberwesel am Rhein. The landscape suddenly gleamed upon the Rhine... so lovely and lively with all the barges going to and fro... the vineyards stretching majestically on the hillsides... and the castle ruins just beckoning us to explore them! The Castle Auf Schönburg in Oberwesel - what a treat! After walking our bags up "cardiac hill" (since the tractor to haul our luggage was no where in sight), we settled into a lovely room overlooking the Rhine. The view was awesome, as was this very pristine and comfortable castle hotel.

... We sat out on the terrace beneath our bedroom windows. It was a glorious night...so cool, serene and quiet. The lanterns on the terrace cast a warm glow on the gorgeous flower boxes... quite lovely, to say the least!

If you ever get the chance to stay in this charming hotel, please don't hesitate! It was everything we had hoped for in a castle stay. The rooms were nicely sized, with very comfortable beds and those delectable german comforters! The bathrooms were modern and immaculate... the staff very congenial ...and the whole property just stunning! It's a treat and well worth it! Our rooms, which were Rhine View, were about $150 USD per night including breakfast, service and all taxes. A bit of a splurge, but I'd stay there again in a second...
