Bacharach
We learned that Bacharach has
a place in history.
In the early 1800's, General Blüchertal's
Prussian troops built a bridge across the Rhine near Bacharach so he could
take his army southbound towards France to fight Napoleon.
On the day the bridge was finished, his soldiers crossed the river and
feasted at an inn. This inn is now called Landhotel-Gasthaus Blüchertal,
the hotel where Kris and I stayed.
