The Rhine River…Gateway To Germany’s Soul
Remembering the many nights of walking by the banks of this mighty river and watching the city’s lights sparkle in the dark depths, it is not wonder that this river has inspired, strengthened, and perhaps even frightened many a visitor. Even at its most industrious, the river’s majesty is still a vibrant feeling that cannot be ignored. Even at its worst, with dirty brown water lapping at a rocky shore, an otherworldly beauty born of ancient history and unmovable witness of ages past, lends a dignity to this stream. In closing, if you wish to partake of a stunning example of German scenery, history, culture, and myth, Germany‘s <I>Vater Rhein</I> is one sight you do not want to miss!
