If timber-framed houses and beautiful churches are what you’re after, then Bacharach is the perfect place to enjoy Rhine Valley charms. Keep an eye out for Altes Haus, a half-timber house dating from 1368, the 12th-century Stahlek Castle and St Peter’s Church. Climb the Postenturm to get an Instagram-worthy view of the town and then top up your energy reserves with some coffee and cake at one of the many cafés.
