The Romantic Rhine, the Meandering Moselle & the Majestic Main
Wurzburg, Germany
The classic stretch of the Rhine, upstream from Cologne, with its twin-towered cathedral, includes Koblenz, where the mighty Rhine meets the meandering Moselle in the shadow of its imposing fortress, and takes in both the fabled UNESCOlisted Rhine Gorge and the mythical Lorelei. Both rivers pass countless colourful wine towns and villages, with the great sweeping bends of the Moselle leading into the Upper Rhine, which is dotted with historic cities, including majestic Mainz. Further upstream on the Rhine, Black Forest gateway Breisach and Switzerland’s elegant Basel provide chances to take in yet more scenic wonders. The lesser-visited River Main offers the traveller an insight into medieval Germany, with historic UNESCO listed sites at Wurzburg and Bamberg one of many highlights.
