Bingen

From Mayence to Bingen the time is about two hours, and the fares are eight, twelve, and eighteen silver groschen.

The steamer stopped a few moments at Bingen, which contains about seventy-five hundred inhabitants.

Bingen is not a very interesting town, but has many walks and drives that are full of interest in every way.

The great plains through which the Rhine flows between Basel and Bingen, are also well-marked examples of alluvial accumulations.

But I must hurry on; there is all the glorious Rhine to Bingen to ascend.
