(Ben) ...Very nice pension on a site that has been around for centuries (15th century basement) - single room equipped with insuite bathroom and shower - running brook just below my window. Very nice Frühstückzimmer that also served as the Aufenthaltsraum (lounge with cable TV). Kühlschrank (refrigerator) for guests loaded with wine, Bier, water and soft drinks. If you want a beverage just write it down on your room tab.

After walking the village several times and with a rainy
first day I spent several hours relaxing in this house lounge enjoying German TV and CNN. One small bank and one
Sparkasse - neither of which would exchange my US $100 dollar bills for Euro. Very afraid of possible conterfeit
bills. I could have used an ATM card but I also had US $20 dollar bills which they had no problem exchanging for
me. I later exchanged the larger bills in other villages without problem.
First sit down meal for this trip was at the -
Gasthaus Zum Goldenen Schlüssel
Marktplatz 14
56338 Braubach
(Rhein)
Tel - 02627/340
(Also has 5 rooms at budget prices)
Excellent Schnitzel plates (had meals here both nights) and equally excellent Königsbacher Bier. Smooth Schlager
music playing softly in the background. Highly recommend the Goldenen Schlüssel for good meals.
Day Two
- Braubach on the
Rhein
Up early - breakfast requested for 0730. Today's plans include taking train southwest along Rhine and use the KD boat service for return. Most train stations have automated ticket vending machines similiar to this - Check posted schedules, purchase ticket and find posted track number.
Took ½ hour train to Kaub - via several quick stops along the way (including Kamp-Bornhofen and St. Goarshausen).
Enjoyed Kaub Konditorei (coffee and pastry) and walked to KD boat pier for ½ hr boat ride to St. Goar (via
Oberwesel). Great weather day - partly cloudy and cool.
