      I was fortunate to travel by train along the Rhein once in '91 and again in '98! It's majestic! If time and money permitted, a train journey where you got on and off for exploring the towns and villages along the way would be a trip to Germany by itself!

      Great idea to dedicate a video to the Rhine river. Unfortunately, there’s a mistake in the segment about Basel. The second shot shows Zurich, which is not on the Rhine.

      In the netherlands, the rhine stays the rhine. Called the lower rhine. Then you have a part called old rhine near Utrecht. The rhine ends near Katwijk aan zee. So the dutch part isnt complete or true.

      I went on a boat trip along the Rhine in 2008 and had the most wonderful time. The scenery was breathtaking and there were little stops at villages and festivals along the way. Memories to last a lifetime ❤

      I love the Rhine River. We went kayaking on the Rhine and I took many boat tours. So much fun. When i got a car I drove down to Bingen and people watched. I loved visiting the lorelei too.

      My mother did a river cruise she was not that keen on the idea but her friend convinced her and she said it was the best holiday she had ever been on and she's been on a few

      I did a river tour through a portion of it as a teen – we stayed in the tiny village of Assmannshausen where my dad had been invited to lecture as a professor. I remember my brother was allowed to order beer at 15 – something we didn’t have in the US – we were amused by the polka music in the little towns . It’s really beautiful. Something you see in a fairly tale – all of the castles – great decision as a trip if you’re planning one.

      I'm Ausländer living in DE as Azubi.. I've been enjoying the wonderful German culture, history and the beautiful scenery, most especially the beauty of cities and towns near the Rhine river! I thank you, Germany!
