Bacharach was first mentioned in a document in 871. Bacharach owes its reputation to its viniculture and wine trade from time immemorial. Even in the Middle Ages, the town had a worldwide reputation as the main staple of the Middle Rhine, Nahe and Rheingau wines and was one of the most famous wine towns.
Bacharach is the tourist centre of the municipality. The medieval townscape with the old town fortifications, Stahleck Castle (one of the most beautiful youth hostels in the Rhine Valley), the Gothic Werner Chapel and the Stahlberg ruins in the Steeg district attracted travellers early on. An extensive network of hiking trails, boat trips on the Rhine, wine tasting, cosy restaurants and hotels offer guests a varied range of recreation and relaxation.
