Whilst the town offers visitors a variety of memorable sights,
activities and experiences to enjoy, Boppard's location within the
Rhine Gorge makes it an ideal destination for those who appreciate
wildlife, natural beauty and the great outdoors. An unmissable way
in which to obtain the very best views of the town, river and their
spectacular surroundings is to take the Sesselbahn Boppard. Built
in the 1950s, this chair lift makes a leisurely 240-metre ascent of
the hillside above Boppard, arriving at a terrace called Gideon's
Corner which provides an unrivalled view of the largest bend in the
Rhine. A few minutes' walk from here rewards visitors with a
second, and unique, view of the river. From the Vierseenblick
('Four-lakes-view') lookout point the unusual geographical layout
ahead it appears that the viewer is seeing four separate lakes
rather than a single stretch of river.
