Sankt Goar

Nestled along the snaking Rhine river, Sankt Goar combines gorgeous natural vistas with some historic brilliance. Burg Rheinfels, which is situated on a small hill, is a must visit for it is one of the most important castle ruins in the country, its ramparts and towers still standing strong. The black spire of the Collegiate Church matches with the shingled roof of the houses, an odd but pleasing contrast with the steely waters of the Rhine.
