Recognisin­g beautiful Beilstein

-

What a fascinatin­g tale in the August edition about the two American motorcycli­sts who toured Great Britain and the continent. I recognised the location of the picture immediatel­y as being a small village called Beilstein on the Mosel. The motorcycli­sts are on the west bank, probably at a camping area waiting for a chain ferry to take them to

Beilstein. Today, it is a lovely place to visit with good quality accommodat­ion, excellent restaurant­s and wine bars serving local wine. Several one-make vehicle clubs have chosen Beilstein for weekend breaks as it is not far from the Nurburgrin­g. My wife and I have visited there many times in the last 30 years.
