Road Tripping Part II

After I traveled the German Wine Road in Rhineland Palatinate for a couple of days, I took the Autobahn A 61 up to Bingen, the gateway to the dramatic natural landscape of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley- a UNESCO world heritage site, which stretches 40 miles from Bingen to the city of Koblenz.

I drive right through the river valley, following the loops and sways of the Rhine through the terraced vineyards, while castles are greeting from the steep hills; some of them are in ruins, but most are picture perfect and home to museums, restaurants, and even hotels and hostels.
