Text Appearing Before Image:
falz, Caub, and Gutenfels, are all points of interest, and come quicklyone after another upon the eye. It was in the curious castle of thePfalz, in the centre of the stream, says tradition, that the wives of theCounts Palatine came for safety when about to bless their lords withan heir: it was at Caub that Blucher crossed the Rhine: and Guten-fels, whose ruins stand above the town, received its name from the beautifulGuda, whose love was sought by Richard of Cornwall, Emperor of Germany,and brother to Henry III. of England. Here, also, toll is still paid to the Duke ofNassau for free passage up or down the stream, he being the only potentate whois now allowed to levy such a tax. Time was when upwards of thirty suchcharges were enforced, each owner of a stronghold asserting a right to pillage thevoyager so soon as he came within reach.
Text Appearing After Image:
a.charach is full of antique buildings, and is surrounded by ancientwalls and watch-towers. It is said to gain its name from Bacchus — atale which deserves to be true on account of the excellence of its wines.These were so good in times gone by, that it is said Pope Pius theSecond (and Popes are all known to be excellent judges) annually sent for a tun ofit for his own drinking ; and that the Emperor TVenzel was bribed into granting 162 THE RHINE BOOK.
