Our apartment is located in Lorch on the Rhine, directly beneath the vineyards through which the Rheinsteig runs - perfect for hiking. It is a starting point for exploring the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a world heritage site. Enjoy a boat trip on the Rhine, or visit one of the numerous castles. The car ferry brings you ashore on the left side of the Rhine and to a bike trail running from Mainz and Koblenz.
If coming from Koblenz, please make sure to go onto the B42 towards Lahnstein/Rüdesheim at Koblenz and go along the Rhine to Lorch. (Navigation devices will take you through small villages)
From Frankfurt, continue towards Wiesbaden/Rüdesheim (navigation devices tend to take you onto the wrong side of the Rhine), otherwise, you will need to cross the Rhine by car ferry (crossings are very limited in the evening - please check timetables!).
