The largest remaining tower of the
town wall stood on the side of the
railway line near the hill until 1905. It
had to give way to the construction
of the Hunsrück Railway and was
rebuilt on its current site as a water tower for steam engines. It now
houses a winery and the boiler room

“Bodobrica” Roman Fort
Places worth seeing
St. Severus Church
The twin-towered parish church of
St. Severus (13 th century), built in the
late Romanesque style over the original
Roman military baths, has a rich architectural structure and decoratively painted
arches with the legend of St. Severus.
The Triumphal Cross (13 th century), the
font (5th century) and the early Christian
gravestones are particularly worth seeing.

“Bodobrica” Roman Fort
Roman history at every turn. Boppard was one of the most important Roman settlements on the Middle Rhine. As a direct result of
Julius Caesar's triumphal campaigns in Germania, this region also
came under Roman control. The area was formerly occupied by
the Celts who gave the name “BAUDOBRIGA” to their ancient
settlement. After traces of early Roman occupation at the start of
the Mühltal, not far from what now constitutes the western borders of the town, in the middle of the fourth century work began
on a substantial fortification called BODOBRICA, from which the
present name BOPPARD is derived. The proportions of the late
Roman fortress, which is located right on the banks of the Rhine,
are impressive. It measures around 1,010 by 505 feet, forming a
rectangle of around 4.7 hectares. The walls are 10 ft. thick to the
inland side and 8 ft. thick towards the Rhine. It was 29 ft. high and
thus presented an impressive obstacle to intended attack. In addition, on the inland side, the fortress boasted 20 horseshoe-shaped
towers, each at regular intervals of about 88 ft., which offered
additional protection against a possible attack from that direction.
Later times became too disturbed for the Roman occupiers and
they finally left the Rhine, the former ancient fortress formed the
heart of the settlement from which the current town developed.
Today, Boppard's streets and squares vibrate with modern life, but
its origins are still clearly visible. We can see the ruins of Roman
occupation with its mighty fortification, which still surrounds the
current town centre, and indeed the walls of this Roman fortress
are the best preserved in Germany.

Carmelite Church
The Gothic Carmelite Church (14 th / 15 th
century) houses a rich interior, including
tombs and choir stalls (15 th century).
The Carmelite veneration of Mary can be
seen in various representations of the Virgin, including the “Grape Madonna” (outside), the “Madonna with Rosary” and
“In Piety”. The former cloisters (18 th century) now house the town administration.

The new Romanesque revival style
“Church of Christ” was inaugurated in the
presence of the Prussian King Friedrich

was turned through 90 degrees in 1975
due to the building of the federal highway.

Places worth seeing
The Baroque Church of St. Pancras
Places worth seeing
Mustard Mill in the Monastery of St. Martin
Surrounded by a wall and in the middle
of a former cemetery in Herschwiesen,
stands the hall church of St. Pancras
(1744 - 46). Its Baroque architecture and
the fact that its furnishings are so consistently true to the period make it an
interesting place to visit. Another place
of pilgrimage is the miraculous image of
the “Black Madonna” in Windhausen.
Experience a guided tour and demonstration in our historic mustard mill. See the
careful manufacturing of delicate types
of mustard. Afterwards, you can sample
these Middle Rhine delicacies, along
with delicious, cold pressed rapeseed
oils, all free of charge.

The Priory at Hirzenach
Teehäusje (Little Tea House)
The church, the vicarage and the garden
in Hirzenach constitute an ensemble. The
origins of the church of St. Bartholomew
(Romanesque tower) go back to the early
12th century (the early Gothic choir dates
from around year 1250). The imposing
vicarage (a former priory / 18 th century)
overlooks the listed Baroque garden.
The “Teehäusje” is the oldest half-timbered house in Boppard and dates back
to the year 1519 in the late Gothic period.
Today the tea house is home to a small
tea shop with a tea room.

Protestant Church at Holzfeld
Marienberger Park
On a small hill in the centre of Holzfeld
stands its protestant church, built in the
18th century. Because of its structureless appearance and the square west
tower (15 th century) the church gives a
very defiant impression. The interior of
the church houses a very old baptismal
font made of basalt lava which is well
worth seeing.

Behind the large Baroque building of the
former Marienberg Monastery (18 th century) which towers over Boppard, there is
an extensive park belonging to the monastery, laid out as a landscaped park in
the 19th century. The vast majority of the
trees date back to this time. A large pond
and paths oozing with atmosphere entice
visitors to explore the surroundings.

Places worth seeing
Half-timbered houses in the historic part of
the town
There are many old half-timbered houses to admire in the town
centre, e.g. in Kronengasse, in Untere Marktstraße, in the market place and in the Balz district. Of special interest are “Haus
Bodenbach” where the gables stand on posts and are richly carved,
and the “Haus zur Arche” (16 th / 17 th century), both of which are
in the Oberstraße.
Eltzer Hof
One example of the many medieval residences belonging to the
privileged at that time in Boppard is the carefully restored “Eltzer
Hof”. The building to the rear dates back to the 16 th century, while
the main building at the front is from the 18 th century. The coat of
arms of the noble families of Eltz (lion) and Faust von Stromberg
(chessboard) adorn the gable.
The Healing Spa of Bad Salzig
The healing spa of Bad Salzig with its park
In 1901, Captain Theodor von Baginski, known as Hoffmann, began
to drill in the area to find salty water and establish a spa. The healing waters of the Barbara and Leonora springs were to provide the
basis for this bathing culture in the healing spa of Bad Salzig. The
grand opening was celebrated in 1907. The healing waters are now
no longer used for therapy in the clinic. Nevertheless, the source
is still being preserved. Both locals and visitors to Bad Salzig can
enjoy the water at the drinking fountain. The classical bath houses
are attached to a sauna and a therapy pool in new buildings. You
can also find the drinking hall designed by the artist Ursula Bertram
here. The arcades of ancient trees and landscaped areas of the
adjoining park which surrounds the Middle Rhine Clinic are an invitation to walk and linger a while.

Ritter-Schwalbach-Haus
One part of the current Federal Academy (formerly a monastery for Franciscan monks) is
the Ritter-Schwalbach-Haus on the banks
of the Rhine (13 th / 15 th century), one of the
oldest houses in Boppard. It is a square, threestorey building with little bay window turrets
and pointed, helmet-like towers standing
next to the medieval “Sandtor” (Sand Gate).

Cycling & nordic walking
Rambling & rock climb
Cycling
Rambling
Boppard lies directly on the 120 km
(75 mile) long Rhine cycle path which
runs from north to south through the
Rhine Valley on both banks. The many
ship and ferry terminals which allow regular “bank hopping” are a special feature
of cycle touring along the romantic Rhine.
Up in the hills, the “Schinderhannes cycle
path” offers an idyllic cycle route and its
Bike hire and repair service: starting point at Emmelshausen can easily be reached via the Hunsrück Railway.
Fahrradstudio Lüdicke
There are wonderful rambling routes
and trails opening up the Rhine Valley and the Hunsrückhöhen (Hünsrück
Hills) to visitors. The “Rheinsteig” trail
on the right bank of the Rhine, which
is easily accessed by the ferry, and the
“RheinBurgenWeg” trail on the left bank,
which goes through Boppard and its
various districts, run through different
regions. Both offer spectacular views
Brochures available

long-distance trail, a Top Trail of Gerwww.boppard-tourismus.de many, will reach the Rhine by the end of
2013 and will start in Boppard: the “SaarHunsrück-Steig”. A further six circular trails certified by the German
Rambling Institute, Boppard’s “Traumschleifen” (Dream Loops),
from 5 to 15 km in length (around 3 to 9 miles), are an open invitation to go rambling. Walking the Middle Rhine via ferrata with the
new “Traumschleifen” option has also been made possible since
2012. The Hunsrück Railway trail combines the steepest adhesion
railway in Germany with a walk among listed buildings. And with
the forest experience trail – along with the Bopparder Hamm wine

fast jumps. After a crossroads that you
have to go over, it carries on with a large,
fast drop and jumps.
Nordic walking
The Rhine Valley offers Nordic walking routes and viewpoints with lovely
landscapes on its slopes and hills
right next to the river. The paths in the
Bopparder Hamm winegrowing area, on
the Eisenbolz and around Fleckertshöhe
are particularly highly recommended.
There are Nordic walking events on

Winegrowing
Bopparder Hamm
Winegrowing
Wine and the Middle Rhine are inseparable, and
there is no better place than Bopparder Hamm
at the gates of the town of Boppard to enjoy the
majestic vineyards which produce a very fine,
exclusive wine to delight the spirit.
The vineyards of Bopparder
Hamm which dominate the
sweeping loop of the Rhine are
visual proof of Boppard's reputation as the home of outstanding winegrowing estates. The
south-facing slopes enjoy an
ideal angle to the sun, are able
to utilise the river's body of water as thermal storage and are
well protected both from the
west and from the east, which
is even more favourable for the
mini-climate. In short, it constitutes the optimum environment
for the cultivation of excellent
wine. The Bopparder Hamm
vineyard covers an area of 75
20
hectares and thus is the largest
single vineyard in the Middle
Rhine. It is divided up into highclass individual estates, such
as Elfenlay, Fässerlay, Wein­
grube, Mandelstein, Feuerlay,
Ohlenberg and Engelstein. The
uncontested star among the
vines is still the Riesling, which,
because of the deep, weathering rock with its slate content,
here produces a wine of a quite
distinctive character. Typical
aromas such as apple, mint
and various spices give the
Boppard Riesling an unmistakable flavour and offer the wine
connoisseur wonderful taste ex-
periences. However, the best of
sites could not produce a wine
of such high quality without the
passionate commitment and
know-how of local winegrowers
who really know how to bring
forth jewels of taste from their
wines. Work in the Bopparder
Hamm vineyards is still typically manual and is done almost
exclusively on the laborious,
steep slopes. Anyone coming
here at any time of the year will
see winegrowers busy pruning, tying in the vines and looking after the leaves and grapes.
Walks and rambles through the
Bopparder Hamm lead directly to
the nursery for the vines, which
will one day produce the fully
ripe grapes for wine. A highlight
of exploring the vineyards is the
“Middle Rhine Spring Wine Festival” which takes place at the
end of April and offers a selection of good wine and culinary
delights. Around a dozen Boppard winegrowers, working in
tandem with catering companies, offer a very special, sensual Rhine and wine experience.
The highlight of the Boppard
wine event is the annual Wine
Festival at the end of September and beginning of October.
Throughout the year however
there are friendly wineries, cosy
open-air festivals and of course
many individual wine tastings at
the vineyards themselves which
are all part of the aromatic vine
trail which both locals and visitors love to follow.
