The
Rhine Valley – |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Rhine Valley with its steep hillsides covered in grapevines, endless castles, and romantic
villages. The stretch between Bingen and Rolandseck has inspired countless
paintings, photographs, poems and romantic stories. The Loreley Valley – where you can cruise by St. Goarshausen, and the rock
Heine once wrote up as Loreley's home; where you'll see the Rhine in flames – when castles set off so many fireworks that their
reflection makes the river look like it's on fire; where you can bike through
villages, circled by cherry orchards in bloom. |

Central: Hunsrück – |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Hunsrück forests and the Erbeskopf (highest peak in the Rhineland at about 2,500 ft) are the defining
features. This is a great place for out door sports – hiking, winter sports around the Idarkopf, touring
gem mines or the museum at Sobernheim. |

Southwest:
Moselle-Saarland – |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Moselle (Mosel) is a Rhine tributary: the rivers meet in Koblenz at "Deutsches Eck"
(The German Corner). Like the Rhine Valley, the Moselle is a land of romantic
hillside vineyards, little villages, and cliff hanging castles. |
