Kloster Eberbach is a former Cistercian monastery on the east bank of the Rhine River. It was one of the largest and most active monasteries in Germany. At the Easter egg market, there were 80 vendors from 10 different countries. Amazing what they can do with eggs. We forgot to charge our camera battery, so it died after just a few pictures, but we later remembered the camera on the phone, so we got a few more pics.
We got front-row seats on the upper level of the double-decker bus

Niederwald Monument overlooks the Rhine Valley. Finished in 1883, the monument was constructed to commemorate the founding of the German Empire after the end of the Franco-Prussian War.
