Bad Salzig

While traveling down the Rhine as part of my Viking River Cruise last year, we spent a day in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, an Unesco World Heritage site.  There were lots of Castles along this stretch of the Rhine and lots of cute little towns. It seems there were towns around every bend of the Rhine, like this little village of Bad Salzig.

And if you look at the Google Image below, you can see what I mean about towns around every bend.

I recently told you about Kamp Bornhofen and The Hostile Brothers.  We could actually see Bad Salzig from Kamp Bornhofen.

The towns seem to go from one side to the other on the banks of the Rhine and you can usually see the next village down the line from the current village.

Bad Salzig is known for their cherries in the spring and their famous mineral baths.

It is another cute little village on our afternoon of sailing.

And soon we were on our way, moving on to the next little town or castle.  But, we noticed something on the hills of the gorge.

High up on the hills were little white specks.

They were goats.  And they evidently were being raised on the steep banks of the Rhine.  So, not only is this area known for wines and fruits, but goats and cheeses, too.  What a fun afternoon of sailing so far.  Stay tuned, there are more castles to see as we head to Rudesheim.
