The Rhine River, whose name comes from the Celtic word renos, meaning raging flow, is one of the most important waterways in Germany as it begins in the Swiss Alps and flows north and east through Germany into Holland’s North Sea. It is most famous for its legendary Lorelei rock and the imposing medieval castles that line its banks. Many German manufacturing and industrial cities are located along the Rhine, as the river is important for shipping and transportation.
If you are looking for an amazing getaway, the Rhine River is definitely the place for you as it offers fabulous cruises and amazing scenery. The Rhine River cruises are perhaps the most popular of all European river cruises, as they allow you to travel through amazing cities like Amsterdam, Cologne, Heidelberg, Strasbourg, & Basel. Some riverboats sail strictly on the Rhine River (known as the Rhein River in Germany), while others combine the Rhine with other waterways in Germany, Austria, Hungary or the Netherlands. Other than seeing amazing sites and scenery, you may also choose to stop in medieval towns to see works by Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali at the Museum of Fine Art.
The Rhine River is also interesting and attractive for visitors because of the large number of castles and old, charming little towns surrounded by fortified walls, towers and gates. Churches and wine growing villages are dispersed along the river that offers romantic scenery to everyone.
