Join us and explore the "Historical Germany" along the four rivers Moselle, Rhine, Main and Danube. The river Moselle is the longest tributary of the Rhine. Before long Trier appears, the oldest city in Germany founded in 18 BC. The dark Roman city gate from the 2nd century only became known as the „Porta Nigra“ in the Middle Ages.

In Koblenz with its fortress high above the river the Moselle runs into the Rhine. A strategic location. We travel further up the Rhine. In Goar emerges the beautiful yet hazardous Loreley, a thing of myth and legend. Rüdesheim is a picturesque town that possesses more visitors than residents.

The journey continues in the direction of Mainz, the capital of Rheinland-Pfalz, where the printing press was invented. Directly from Mainz we branch into the tributary to the Main. Miltenberg is one of the most beautiful half-timbered towns in Germany. Where the Tauber joins the Main, Wertheim is situated. The journey continues south, into the largest German federal state, Bavaria. The picturesque Baroque town of Würzburg is located on the river amidst the Franconian wine region and dominated by the mighty Marienberg Fortress. An excursion leads us to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a key point along the "Romantic Street". We reach Bamberg, a typical German city from the Middle Ages, situated at the river Regnitz, where today the fishermen's houses inspired the name "Little Venice".

In Bamberg the Main-Danube-Channel also begins, 171 kilometers for shipping. We reach Nuremberg, "secret capital" of German Franconia and "treasure trove of the German Reich". Nuremberg is living history. 100 kilometers on, is Regensburg, Germany’s mediaeval wonder, capital of the Bavarian Oberpfalz and also often described as “Italy’s most northerly city”! And again further 150 kilometers downstream, the Danube reaches the Bishop's town of Passau and is met by the rivers Inn and Ilz. The prosperity of Bavaria’s “Venice" was due to its production of wine, grain and salt.

Exploring Germany from four rivers brings about a journey into the past.
