This shot is taken from the hostel at the top of the hill in Bacharach. Werner Kapelle is on the right side of the photo. In 1842 Victor Hugo wrote, "No doors, no roof or windows, a magnificent skeleton puts its silhouette against the sky. Above it, the ivy-covered castle ruins provide a fitting crown. This is Bacharach, land of fairy tales, covered with legends and sagas." (quote courtesy of Rick Steves)
