Creator's Key Takeaways

It was the hottest day of the cruise with temperatures well above 35°.

I would not recommend going this hike the other way around because the way from the city center to the castle is extremely steep.

It was yet another fantastic meal. It was a fantastic gala dinner. Really enjoyed that.

We were lucky that we were able to sail at all.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan hikes well ahead, especially if your ship is staying for half a day.
Take the cable car in Rüdesheim for a beautiful view.
Do the hike from the city center to the castle in Bernkastel-Kues the way they did, not the other way around.
