The Middle Rhine between Bingen and Koblenz runs for 65 kilometres between terraced vineyards and some forty castles, and is listed by UNESCO for that combination. River ferries, a riverside rail line and the Rheinsteig hiking trail all follow the same corridor, so it can be travelled by boat, train or on foot. Bacharach and Sankt Goar are practical bases.
