Waking up in the morning was wonderful: looking outside at water, swans and other waterfowl, and an old wooden sailboat, not to mention other houseboats in the historical docking area. Being on the water is a sort of gentle miracle. The houseboat is sparkling clean and homely, Reinhart's hospitality is first rate, and it's just minutes from the train station: an excellent location for travellers who want to drop off bags before exploring the city.
