Rudesheim, Germany: The River, Boat Cruise, Castles and Beauty!
Rüdesheim am Rhein, Germany
(65km/40miles south-west of Frankfurt)
Rüdesheim is a winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge and thereby part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It lies in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis district in the Regierungsbezirk of Darmstadt in Hesse, Germany. It is officially known as Rüdesheim am Rhein, which distinguishes it from Rüdesheim an der Nahe.
The area was settled first by the Celts, then after the turn of the Christian Era by Ubii and later by Mattiaci. In the first century, the Romans pushed forth to the Taunus. In Bingen they built a castrum, and on the other side, near what is now Rüdesheim, lay a bridgehead on the way to the Limes.
The Romans were followed by the Alamanni, and along with the Migration Period (Völkerwanderung) came the Franks. Archaeological finds of glass from this time suggest that there was already winegrowing in Rüdesheim even then. The town's origin as a Frankish Haufendorf (roughly, clump village) can still be seen on today's town maps.
Rüdesheim had its first documentary mention in 1074. Its livelihood came mainly from winegrowing and shipping, particularly timber rafting.

Rhine River Cruise - Lorelei Rock to Kaub, Germany
The area covered is from the Lorelei Rock to the town of Kaub. Nothing like doing a cruise on the Rhine; if it is too chilly outside, there is an enclosed indoor area hat offers great views. The food is pretty good, as well as the bar they have.
The song you hear is Easy Day by Kevin McLeod and is from the free You Tube Music Library.
As is customary, Ed does the video filming & narration. I do the still photos, add the music and edit it all to upload here. Hope you'll check out the other video parts as well.
