  I don't think this is Baden-Baden? This looks like beeing the Rhine, Loreley en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loreley, I'm pretty sure.

  Alice C: Thanks for the information! I am not sure if the images at wikipedia confirm that this is Loreley Rock, as they are taken from a different angle. We will leave source data as is for now, but let us know if you find any more photos that confirm the location.

  This is certainly not Baden-Baden as the Upper Rhine Valley is wide and flat, and the Vosges and Black Forest are set back from the riverbanks by a couple of miles. The scenery is very reminiscent of the Rhine Gorge between Bingen and Koblenz: the valley is very narrow and the rail line is right up on the left bank. There are a number of cliffs and bends in the gorge, so I'm not certain that it is the Loreley, but the tags should probably read "Koblenz", "Rhine Gorge", "Middle Rhine Valley" and "Rhineland-Palatinate" rather than the last four.

  Hi, I am a geographer living at Freiburg (Black Forest), I agree with trailsanderrors. You should delete the following tags: Baden-Baden, Baden-Württemberg, Black Forest, Karlsruhe, Schwarzwald They are definitely wrong and misleading. You can compare the image with Google Earth view of Baden-Baden and its surroundings and you will find out, that there is no castle next to a big river anywhere. -- Found in a search. (?)
