Rhine
River
A
cruise down or up the Rhine River is legendary with its stunning scenery,
charming hamlets, delicate and imposing castles. The cruise ships
are small in size compared to many today, but I believe they add a
nice quaintness to your trip.
Munich
Munich
is the land of Alpine terrain, oom-pah bands, beer halls and mountain
skiing. It's famous for the Oktoberfest celebrations. Munich also
serves as a good hub for traveling to see the sites in the surrounding
areas. One of the most famous is Fussen. Fussen is where the spectacular
castles built by King Ludwig II are located. Neuschwanstein, claims
to be the castle that inspired the one in Disneyland. Another good
day trip is to Garmisch-Patenkirchen. This was the site of the 1936
Winter Olympics. In the spring and summer you can ride the ski lift
to the top and walk down part of the way thru an adventurous trail
to the bottom, well worth the trek.
