ST. GOER & a little more BACHARACH

St. Goer is only 10 minutes up the road from Bacharach by car or train. They are similar in size, but St. Goer has even more of a touristy feel to it.


St. Goer's old church.











Looking down on St. Goer and the Rhine from Rheinfels.











Rheinfels from St. Goer. The sign on the left that says 'Eis' is an ice cream shop. Don couldn't seem to get enough of the Eis and so we frequented these shops often. This picture is first thing in the morning, before all the tables and tourists were out.







If you click on this picture to enlarge it, you can more easily see that the sign says, "Made in Germany." I thought it was kind of funny. (And maybe a statement of the times when EVERYTHING is made in China.)














You will notice that 'Cuckoo Clock Center' is in English. Gee, I wonder who they are marketing to? And I loved the big Cuckoo Clock hanging in front.








Across the Rhine from St. Goer is a little town called St. Goerhausen.












Burg Katz sits above St. Goerhausen.















Meanwhile, back in Bacharach - pictures I missed:

This is one of the city wells from a time when they used an extensive well system. There was a lot of money in the bottom of this one.









We came across this passageway between buildings and Don thought we should explore it.















The passageway led to a little bridge over the stream that runs through Bacharach. Buildings and homes are built right up to and over the stream.
