Day 3 - Burg Rheinfels & Oberwesel

Today we hiked up to Burg Rheinfels , said to be the best example of castle ruins on the Rhine, located just above St. Goar.

The view on this hike was impressive.


The castle ruins are extensive and only about one fifth of the original Burg Rheinfels.


After the hike we had lunch



followed by a nap (we ARE on vacation after all) before traveling to Oberwesel.  We hiked to a portion of the original town wall. 


Then on into town where we discovered an unusual museum


which turned out to be fascinating. The owner ran a computer repair service and his hobby (meteorites) has become an obsession that he discussed with us.


We toured around Oberwesel for a while


before returning to St. Goar for dinner with some fellow Untouists from Tennessee and Canada.
