Bacharach

Bacharach sits at an altitude of 70 meters along the Rhine River, containing numerous timber-frame buildings and defensive walls from the 14th century.

The settlement received official town rights in 1356 and developed into a vital wine trade center during the Middle Ages, transferring wine barrels across the region.

The municipality maintains strong connections to wine production traditions, demonstrated through regular festivals and preservation of ancient vineyards along steep terraces.

Travelers reach Bacharach via regular train connections from Frankfurt or Mainz, with the station located near the central marketplace and tourist information office.

The Gothic ruins of Wernerkapelle stand as an incomplete 13th-century chapel, displaying red sandstone architecture characteristic of medieval Rhine construction techniques.
