Boppard chairlift
The Boppard chairlift is a 915-meter-long two- person chairlift that was built in 1954 by the Hasenclever company near Boppard . His destination is the Vierseenblick viewpoint above the town of Boppard on the Middle Rhine west of the Bopparder Hamm vineyard .
The Boppard chairlift overcomes a height difference of 232 meters. The journey takes 20 minutes. 600 people can be transported per hour on 80 armchairs. The lift is out of order from November to March.

The valley station is at the entrance to the Bopparder Mühltal above the half-timbered restaurant with a historic mill wheel on the stream. At the beginning you float over a small slope, five minutes later over slate rocks and oak forests .
The view from the lift extends south to the city of Boppard and on the right bank of the Rhine to Kamp-Bornhofen and its castles Sterrenberg and Liebenstein , the so-called hostile brothers . To the east, on the driveway, the Rhine loop lined with the slopes of the Bopparder Hamm vineyards to Spay comes into view. Filsen appears on the right bank of the Rhine in the arc of the Rhine and Osterspai to the east of it .
The mountain station is at the height in the middle of the forest.
Network of hiking trails from the mountain station
After a five-minute walk you reach the Gedeonseck , a restaurant with a panoramic terrace from which the entire Rhine loop of Boppard can be overlooked. The area is also used as a take-off and landing point for paragliding .
The Vierseenblick is another five minutes further above. At this vantage point, the slate slopes and the Rhine bend overlap in such a way that the optically deceptive impression is created that there are four separate lakes.
Several bicycle and circular hiking trails , some of which are sections of the Rheinburgenweg , lead across the wooded heights of the Rhine to other vantage points, the Hedwigs and Engelseiche , as well as to the former monastery and today's golf course and Hotel Jakobsbergerhof . The Mittelrhein-Klettersteig runs on the slate cliffs above the Bopparder Hamm vineyard , descents to Boppard are through the vineyards and the Mühltal.
2005 was above the Ausflugsgaststätte Vierseenblick a practice area for Freeride - Mountain biking created.
