Oberwesel
The 'Town of Towers,' with 16 towers and an almost intact medieval town wall. The wall walk links river views and vineyards.
The town wall of Oberwesel extends about 2 km along the bank of the Rhine. You can follow the wall walk around the town, passing many towers. The red Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) at the northern end of town contains a fine Gothic altarpiece, and on the hill to the south stands Schönburg. It is less crowded than Bacharach, can be reached by train or river cruise, and suits a half-day stroll with local wine tasting.
