Like the smell of licorice on the hockey playgrounds in Dottendorf, a southern part of town, right opposite of the original Haribo factory.

An endless promenade along both sides of the river Rhine – perfect for hour-long runs, skates or bike rides.

Year by year, this is the biggest event on the Middle Rhine – spectacular bonfires, reflections and echoes!
