Welcome
to Boppard
Welcome
to Boppard on the Rhine. In the Valley of the Loreley
as well as on the heights of the nearby Hunsrück
Hills, Boppard has a lot to offer in many respects
both to residents and guests. In the course of history,
all kinds of people have felt at home here, whether
Celts, Romans or Franconians. All of them have left
their mark on the 2000 year-old history of the town
and at every turn there is witness in stone of their
presence.
Present
day Boppard is a union of 10 formerly autonomous communities
which have together about 17.000 inhabitants. The
town area comprises 75 square kilometers, more than
50% is forrest. The town and its inhabitants do not
only exist from tourism, although more than a million
visitors and about 300.000 overnight stays make it
a major tourism location. It is an important industrial
place as well.
Two large worldwide well-known firms, BOMAG, producer
of road construction machines, and Sebapharma, producer
of skin products, safeguard employment in Boppard.
The
area offers a very good public transportation. There
is the railway along the
Rhine that connects Boppard practically hourly to
most cities north and south of the Rhine Valley, as
well as motorway and federal roads that bring you
to our lovely town. Recently Airport Hahn in the Hunsrück,
50 minutes by car, has brought a lot of overseas customers
to our area. Last but not least, there are the ship
companies on the Rhine that are responsible for a
high number of international tourists.
Boppard
belongs to a part of the Rhineland which is famous
for its very old history, which has been influenced
by different royal families, princes, electors and
bishops. This applys to all towns on the Middle Rhine
Valley.
And because of this cultural aspect and the impressive
nature of the Rhine valley, the area between Koblenz
and Bingen was taken into the UNESCO World Heritage
in summer 2002.
So
if this has made you curious, please feel welcome
to visit Boppard and enjoy your stay, the hospitality
of our hotels and restaurants.
