The traditional fireworks event in the romantic Middle Rhine Valley between Trechtingshausen and Bingen / Rüdesheim has been attracting guests from all over the world since 1977. Experience magnificent fireworks, burning castles, Bengal lights and enjoy a romantic, unforgettable evening on board one of the illuminated ships that travel in convoy. You can only witness all the fireworks from the ship.
Event schedule
The ships depart in the late afternoon/early evening from Bingen or Rüdesheim. Passing numerous castles, the journey takes you into the legendary Upper Middle Rhine Valley. It is no coincidence that the Rhine Valley between Rüdesheim and Koblenz was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2002. Here, fortresses, old customs castles, and romantic ruins line up like pearls on a string on both sides of the Rhine. Depending on the water level and departure time, how far the ships travel towards the Loreley rock before meeting at the small village of Trechtingshausen and returning together past numerous grand fireworks back to Rüdesheim/Bingen varies. The ship convoy of numerous illuminated vessels and the impressive thunder of the magnificent fireworks are fascinating. Rhine in Flames culminates in a grand final fireworks display near Rüdesheim and Bingen. The ships dock again in Rüdesheim or Bingen at around midnight.
Rhine in Flames is a joint event organized by the Bingen Tourism & Congress GmbH and RüdEvent GmbH. The towns of Rüdesheim and Bingen are located on opposite banks of the Rhine. There is a ferry connection between the towns, which operates until around 1:00 a.m. after the event. The nearest Rhine bridges are in Wiesbaden (about 30 km) and Koblenz (about 70 km).
