Directly north of Boppard, the Rhine takes its greatest bend. This bow is called the "Bopparder Hamm", although this name is more commonly applied to the winegrowing area found along it. The best known lookout point over this bow in the Rhine is the "Vierseenblick", or "Four-Lake View". This vista gets its name from the way in which the Rhine can be seen from here, or rather the way in which it cannot be seen: hills block out most of the view of the river itself so that visitors can only see four apparently separate patches of water, rather like four lakes. These are all actually parts of the Rhine; there are no lakes to be seen. The "Vierseenblick" can be reached by chairlift.
