26-Aug – During the morning hours we had scenic sailing along the Middle Rhine and historical commentary by our Program Director. In recognition of the Rhine’s status as one of the world’s oldest and most magnificent cultural landscapes, UNESCO declared the Upper Middle Rhine Valley a World Heritage Site in 2002, stating it is of “outstanding universal value.” About 2:00 pm we dock in Braubach, Germany and subsequently toured the Marksburg Castle. After the castle tour we get back on the Viking Skirnir and sailed to Koblenz, Germany, arriving there about 3:30 pm and docked very close to the ‘German Corner’ where the Moselle and Rhine Rivers meet. The evening is open for us to explore the town.
