Germanys Romantic Rhine and Rothenburg

Cruising the Rhine River, we dodge riverboat traffic and the legendary Lorelei. After climbing castles and descending into dungeons, we relax with Rhine wine. We tour Burg Eltz a livedin castle where the noble lady still puts out fresh flowers. Then we enter the walled town of Rothenburg for Germany s best wood carving, a vivid dose of medieval punishment, and a tour with the night watchman of the town s lamplit ramparts. 2002 Rick Steves Europe br, br,
