Germany has long laboured under many international
stereotypes, but there is so much more to it than beer,
bratwursts and BMWs. Cultural celebration, however, is a big
thing for this country – and with epic scenery providing a
backdrop of an amazing fusion of rich historical heritage with
colourful modern cities, not to mention (I had a really good
point to make and… gone.)
With over 25,000 castles to its name (with one in particular
that has inspired Walt Disney), it is definitely more fairytale
than knightstale, with over 60 of them showcased by the
meandering Rhine as it meanders its way from Switzerland to
the North Sea. With so much scenery and history to unpack,
the best way to make the most of this charming region is to
view it from a local’s perspective on the romantic, narrow
cobbled streets of Rudesheim and Koblenz, sailing along the
steep riverbanks of the Rhine and Moselle or from the carriage
of one of the oldest scenic uphill trains in Germany, offering
uninterrupted views of the Rhine as you head up to the
Drachenfels peak.
Rudesheim am Rhein is located on the bank of the Rhine and
is the perfect place from which to explore the local area.
Steeped in local history and folkore, it has something to offer
all who visit, be it outstanding vistas or local German
conviviality.

Both Rudesheim and Cochem are two of the most beautiful
winemaking towns on their respective rivers in Germany and
are without a doubt the best places in which to indulge in art,
culture, history – and of course, a few glasses of wine wouldn’t
go amiss!
