LEGENDS OF THE RHINE
Undeniably one of Central Europe’s most striking rivers, the Rhine
begins its journey in Switzerland’s Lake Constance, flows through the charming
French city of Strasbourg, and reaches its most breathtaking scenery in
Germany. Along its banks and cliffs, you'll find castles, ancient ruins, and
towers with shadowy, slender windows that seem to watch you with the weight of
centuries past. Discover with us the true gems hidden along the course of the
majestic Rhine River.
