Burgflotte Modern 2 · Houseboat & Roof Terrace

Two double cabins, a roof terrace and the Rhine right outside

Burgflotte Modern 2 lies permanently moored in the Marina Rheinlicht in Lorch, sheltered behind the Lorcher Werth island. The water stays calm, and the big Rhine barges pass at a distance — visible, but never intrusive.

Modern 2 has two separate sleeping cabins, each with a double bed. Four guests sleep in the cabins. The fifth and sixth guest use the sofa bed in the living area. Two baby cots are available on request.

Through the panoramic windows you look out over vineyards, wooded hills and the castles of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. The roof terrace belongs to you alone — the place where most guests spend their evenings.

The houseboats are well insulated, against sound as well as against cold. Inside it stays quiet, warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer thanks to air conditioning. After dark the location shows perhaps its finest side: there is barely any light pollution here, and on a clear night the valley lies under a sky full of stars that many guests no longer know — best seen from your own roof terrace.

There is no designated bathing area at the property. Swimming and jumping into the water are not permitted from the houseboat, from the jetties or in the marina basin.

The boat comes with a full kitchen including dishwasher, a bathroom with shower, air conditioning and heating, Wi-Fi as well as bed linen and towels. Two free parking spaces at the marina are reserved for you. Lorch station is 500 metres away, Frankfurt Airport around 70 kilometres.

The houseboat is stationary and is not driven — no boat licence is required.

Good to know: Check-in from 4 pm, check-out by 12 noon, minimum stay two nights. Non-smoking, no pets, no events. Quiet hours from 10 pm to 9 am. Access is via a gangway onto the jetty.
