Four of Europe's most beautiful river trips are to be discovered on this cross-river journey through Germany, which must rate as one of life's most impressive.

This journey begins in Grevenmacher where the river Moselle reaches here from Vogesen and then flows along the natural border between Luxembourg and Germany on to Trier, the oldest city in Germany.

Founded in 18 B.C. by Caesar Augustus, the journey uncovers Trier's historic roots and developments including the spectacular Electoral Palace and gothic Liebfraukirche.

The history of Wertheim, where the Tauber meets the Main, is experienced before an onward journey to the baroque Würzburg. Then Bamberg, another city from the Middle Ages, built on seven hills with its striking sacred Emperor's cathedral, lies on the River Regnitz. Onward along the Main Danube Channel we reach the living history of Nuremberg where the Pegnitz river divides the two sections of the classical old town. This treasure from the middle ages presents a lucid exhibition of German culture and tradition.

The rivers of the Moselle, Rhein, Main and Danube continue to tell their great stories through one of the most worthwhile inland journeys of Europe.
