Boppard, in the Rhine valley


After leaving Cologne we headed to the River Rhine valley. Our GPS unit took us through very modern highways until it indicated a very narrow, long and winding road. The picture shows it can fit only one car, at times barely. We drove praying that no car came from the other side.







We then arrived in Boppard, a small town on the banks of the Rhine. A typical small German town, with typical German houses.

In Boppard, there is a cable car. It takes torists up the hill for a better view of the valley. The interesting thing is that not only people use it. Bikes are transported in the cable. Even a people on bikes use the cable car.




Boppard is an idyllic place. It reminded me of Nova Friburgo, the town where my mother was born, in the Brazilian mountains.
