(Comments from Trip Report) ...What a wonderful, friendly family the Petrescu's are. I'm shown to a very nice Doppelzimmer set up as a single with a great balcony overlooking Blücherstraße which is the road that runs from Bacharach up to the village of Steeg and past it to the A-61. I have a private bathroom but the shower is just outside my door in the hallway. A nice little TV will keep me company my last night in Deutschland.

The rest of the day is spent shopping the Phil Jost shops at Rosenstraße 16 & Blücherstraße 4 and no trip to Bacharach would be complete without a visit to Frances Geuss at her woodburning shop just across from the Altes Haus.

And for my final meal of the trip I again try a favorite little cafe just up the street from Frances at the -

Good food - great prices - very friendly owners - love the protected outside table area...

Bacharach is one of my favorite stops along the Rhine. When the weather is nice I enjoy grabbing a Brat at Wagner's Imbiss (in the corner of the parking lot) - walking down near the KD dock and watching the river traffic. Love to then enter the city via the city wall (under the train tracks) and stroll along the Oberstraße.

Knowing that this little village was once a key trading point along the Rhine and has been sitting beneath Burg Stahleck for the past 900 years makes it just that much more enjoyable.
