St. Goar (Sankt Goar) - gem of the Rhine River Valley, Germany
St. Goar (Sankt Goar, in German) is one of the major little gems on the Rhine River Valley. It is also a gateway to magnificent Rheinsfels Castle, located above the town. (we have a separate video devoted exlusively to the castle, which you can go to by clicking the following link: )
There is a pathway that leads directly up to it and we took that...not an overly strenuous climb, with wonderful views of St. Goar and the Rhine below.
We did a completely separate video of our visit to this wonderful castle, an absolute delight. The sister city of St. Goarhausen (Sankt Goarhausen) is located directly across the river.
St. Goar was named after the priest, hermit, monk Goar of Aquitaine, who had a strong influence there, building a hospital & chapel. He arrived around 618 A.D. in the area and decided to permanently settle there.

Mittel Rhein Boat Tour (Germany) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about the Mittel Rhein Boat Tour in Germany.
Our journey begins in Koblenz. In around 1000 A.D. a castle was built on a knoll on the east bank of the Rhine and Castle Ehrenbreitstein gradually developed. Europe’s second largest fortress was given its appearance as we see it today, between 1817 and 1828. From the Middle Ages to the late eighteenth century, Koblenz was the residence of the powerful archbishops of Trier and in 1794 it was taken over by France and in 1815, by Prussia. Following the Rhine, our journey leads to Boppard where town houses, stately homes and churches form the romantic old town. After the invasion of the Alemanni, a city wall was built in order to protect what was a toll castle and today the town has developed into an attractive tourist destination surrounded by woods and vineyards. We pass by a high rock on a sharp bend where the Rhine is barely a hundred and thirteen metres wide. Legend tells of a beautiful mermaid, Loreley , who enchanted and distracted sailors with her singing in order that their boats would be destroyed on the rocks. Soon, the river becomes more tranquil. Slowly the craggy slopes change to vineyards and the river valley widens. Bacharach nestles in the confluence of the Steeger Valley, into the extensive Rhine Valley, protected by a sturdy wall. Above the town is the Stahleck Fortress that was first recorded in 1095 and became the residence of the Count Of Palatine On The Rhine, in 1142. The conclusion of our journey, Rüdesheim is a picturesque town that boasts more visitors than residents, its sunny location making it ideal for viticulture. A mediaeval church, wooden buildings and stately homes, and the famous Drosselgasse, characterise the city. The Middle Rhine Valley reflects the history of Europe. With cultural monuments and cultivated countryside, crowded settlements along narrow banks and various noble castles situated on rocky ledges, it is a reflection of the romantic history of times gone by.
