Castles on the Rhine & River Cruise Part 2

After the castle tour, we stopped by a wine shop to sample a few wines and brandies. Then it was onto our two hour river cruise down the Rhine River. There were many castles to see along the way. They were built as a way to collect tolls from people along the river. They estimate one castle per every mile and most were built illegally. After the boat ride we ate jaegerschnitzel for lunch and had more wine tasting. Next, we took a cable car ride up to a scenic view.

Scott and I purchased a delicious "ice wine"

All aboard!



It was super windy!




Cable Car ride. You can see the vineyards below. 80% of the wine in this area is white.


Scott doesn't seem to fit in with this picture lol
