Koblenz is a good visit for a day.
Rheinfalz (sp??) is on the Swiss/German border was looking, if you're driving that area but it's the view of the Rhein instead of the town.
The Loreli stone is near Rudesheim, I think. Maybe this is mostly about the song and not for the place.
There are lots of apple blossoms in the spring on the Eastern side of the Rhein. That was worth a look, if it was a good time of the year.
How about Wiesbaden. Does this count? Certainly it's worth viewing.

We stayed in Bacharach in May and really enjoyed this lovely little town. We did a daytrip to St. Goar and Boppard. In Boppard, there is a chairlift that takes you up to a great vantage point for viewing the huge horseshoe turn in the Rhine and the surrounding area. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

My husband and I recently took a cruise along the entire length of the Rhine. Although we are not really "cruise people", we enjoyed the journey. I liked the towns better as we got further south, as the north had a more industrial feel. I particularly enjoyed Strasbourg. Mainz is another interesting city, and has a museum that contains a copy of the Gutenberg Bible and the Gutenberg Printing Press.
Are you cruising or driving? If you have access to a car, Heidelberg is a nice side trip, as is the Black Forest.
