Harbor in Rüdesheim

This photo was taken during a nice evening walk around the little harbor in Rüdesheim. Most boats are still covered in their winter gear.

In the background behind the house you can see what's left from the old Rhine bridge that used to be here, crossing the Rhine from Rüdesheim to Bingen. It's been destroyed during the war, but lately there have been discussions going on to re-build it. At the moment, if you want to cross the Rhine in this area, you would take one of the ferries.

Thanks you all! Really appreciate your comments! In summer we like to walk here and think about how it would be to make a trip on one of these boats. But since I tend to get seasick we'd have to stay on the rivers... :)
