The following day we embarked on a Rhine Tour by Boat...
a great way to view the beautiful buildings, castles and wine yards... and a good starting point for some preliminary sketches...
We just opted for a small trip, called the Loreley-Tour. About 2 hours from Kamp Bornhoffen to the Loreley at St. Goarshausen and back... Great views and history documentary all from a great vantage point, the Loreley Shuttle.

Burg Katz above St Goarshausen
It was built by Count Johann of Katzenelbogem at the end of the 14th century. Destroyed only in 1804 and restored a century later, Burg Katz today houses a Natural Science Grammer and Boarding School.
The view, especially to the Loreley southward, is held to be one of the Rhein's best known.
Burg Katz is private and closed to the public.

Accommodation is usually easy to find along the Rhein ... Hotels are plentyfull, and so a little Guesthouses or Rooms for rent.
For the budget conscious person, we recommend to watch out for "Zimmer Frei" - Room Free -

Rooms are always spotless clean and well prized, with the added advantage of friendly owners telling you all about the local special attractions...
