Cruise Ship/Rhine River Best Sights! Castles, Scenery. Hidden Treasures/Experiences on the Rhine

Wow O It’s day four and we are ready for another Amazing Adventure here’s our hotel it’s the hotel on which is the ferry hotel and why is it called the ferry Hotel while you’re looking at it there’s the ferry you have to go all the way up to cand to cross a

Bridge and the ferry is coming in right now on the other side of the river is sangor housing and of course there’s a castle right there he’s docking to let the cars off but this side of the river it’s called sangor the cars are Free we are going to ro today which many people say is the gym of the Rin River oh W I didn’t know that in fact after cologne it’s the most visited spot on the Rin River so rudish shim is just about 20 mi down the river so we are

Going that way down the river and we will be soon seeing the laureli we’ll tell you more about that in a few minutes the singing mermaid see you at the Laura like well it’s time for me to tell you a little German story we are at the laurelai Rock right

There the famous laurelai and that’s a terrible navigation Hazard for ships on the Rin River they have to come around this steep turn here and navigate the fast Waters and many many ships for hundreds of years have crashed into the Rock you can see this train here it’s it’s going to

Actually go in a little tunnel you can see it looks like a castle thing right there it’s going to go through under the rock there but here’s the story hundreds of years ago there was a mermaid very beautiful blond-haired German mermaid and she met a sailor and she fell in

Love they married the short story is it didn’t go well but she decided to become a human she got legs and she married the Sailor after a few days or weeks of marital bliss it went sour he ran off and she thought well there’s nothing for

Me to do but turn back into a mermaid which she did but she was mad the mermaid was mad she had turned back into a mermaid she had nothing to do so she decided she was going to sit at the laureli Rock and sing beautiful beautiful songs and when the sailors

Came around the big turn here the dangerous stretch where they should have been concentrating on the on the sharp rocks and the and the the reefs she sang the songs distracted them they they got too close to the Rock and many many ships crashed there’s a ship that

Crashed about eight or nine years ago is a terrible terrible disaster still happening today and so the legend of the laureli was born and she’s still singing today getting her revenge for her unhappy German marriage the Laura Li here I got a beautiful shot of the laurelai with the big cruise ship trying

To navigate through the waters but it’s very difficult it’s a very sharp turn right over there you have to put the cruise ship sideways and fight the current but he’s been through it a few times now this cruise ship he’s going slow for two reasons one he’s going up

River and the current is quite strong here we can see a lot of almost Rapids the water’s moving quickly so he’s going slow fighting the current going up River but also he’s lucky there’s no River traffic ahead of him so he can take his time and the tourists on top can take their

Pictures but I got to tell you the truth if you’re on a bicycle I’ve been here 30 minutes I don’t have to move ever I can stay and look at it as long as I want and they’re paying $3,000 and I’m paying nothing zero in fact our room

Last night it was only $55 it was pretty nice and we got a free breakfast the German Breakfast Yeah we’ve been here almost an hour it’s nice being on a bike you can take your time but we watch like seven Ships coming through the laurelai curves and it’s fun to watch them navigate but these people have to go through pretty quick because there’s uh

At least one more boat and there’s two more that are lined up ready to come through so this one’s going to have to keep moving he doesn’t have the luxury of parking for the tourist to take pictures he’s got to move move move so these people are going to get cheated on

Their camera time okay let’s go explore This Castle is in the middle of the Rion River it’s on a little island out there you can take a little rowboat out there and see it I guess what do you think of that in the middle of the river and here comes a barge up

River and guess what there’s a castle up there too Castle everywhere but this Castle it collected tolls on the Ry River for probably hundreds of years and here comes the inner city train oh there’s a lot Happening Here how beautiful look at this fairy boat it’s drifting way over towards the shore

Here he’s almost touching the land look at that he that’s dangerously close to the shore here he’s trying to get around the current now he’s going to fire the engines hard oh he’s a an amazing driver flirting with the shore Landing oh there’s the landing right there he’s Landing right here and he

Docked and now he’s opening the gate I thought he was going to dock farther up River We’ve just started the final leg of our bike week and there’s lots of problems already there are DS we had to clear them off the path the ducks that get on the bik path you have to them away a little bit we’re chasing the herds of ducks away they’re

Everywhere yeah get these ducks out of here we don’t want to run one over there’s Canadian geese over here are they really from Canada that’s a long way look at the babies 1 2 3 4 5 babies I think they belong to the Canadian grou oh the Ducks are coming back on the

Path maybe maybe they’re geese I’m not the greatest at identifying Birds okay we got to get to mines we got to push our way through the flock of birds yeah let’s go through through the herd of geese let’s go V House It’s break time on the Rin River we’ve gone about onethird of the way to mines and vpot and it’s time for a break and the nice thing on the Ryan bike trail is you can find beautiful places to take a break like this look at this it’s just a little bike trail
