De B9 gaat over de linker (west) oever van de Rijn (Rhein) en mijn trip begint aan het einde van de A562 in Bonn, en gaat dan door de zuidelijke voorsteden richting Koblenz, waar de B9 her en der als snelweg is uitgebouwd. Na Koblenz heeft de weg vooral een secundair karakter zonder 2x2 gedeelten, tot aan Bingen. De gehele route voert door het Rijndal, wat behoorlijk toeristisch is.
route:

1. Tram station in Bonn, on top of the A562.

2. The B9 is a nice 2-lane road in Bonn.

3. Another tram approaching, seems like a high frequency service.

4. Rare sign. To turn left, you first have to turn right and then left twice to cross the intersection. As y'all probably know, the left turns are the worst on an intersection.

5. Mini-church on this intersection. Also notice the traffic light.

6. White signage. I'm heading for the "straßentunnel".

7. A nice tunnel to relieve this neighborhood of traffic. Way to go Germany!

8. Tunnel was about 1 - 1.5 km long or so.

9. Short expressway here. It turned out later that I should've passed that Buick.

10. The "Siebengebirge" (Seven Mountains)

11. The river Rhine (Rhein)

12. Lots and lots of cyclists. Though cycling is mostly of recreational nature in Germany.

13. Gas prices in Germany. Diesel is slightly more expensive, Gasoline is cheaper than in the Netherlands.

14. B9 with shoulders. You see that from time to time in Germany, but it's surely not a standard.

15. Local exit. Notice the railway on the right. The B9 parallels a railway very close along it's entire route to Bingen.

16. Spring colors.

17. Peeking across the Rhine.

18. Remagen. I thought this was the place where the Allies captured the first bridge across the Rhine intact in WWII.

19. Aral is a very common gas station in Germany, but I've never seen one in NL.

20. Remagen-Süd exit.
