Rick Steves' Europe

S02E12 Germany's Romantic Rhine and Rothenburg

As we navigate the picturesque Rhine River, we weave through riverboat traffic and keep an eye out for the mystical Lorelei. Our adventure takes us to majestic castles and mysterious dungeons, followed by a delightful break with some local Rhine wine. We also explore Burg Eltz, a charming castle where the lady of the house still adorns it with fresh flowers. Our journey continues in the walled town of Rothenburg, where we admire exquisite wood carvings, learn about medieval punishments, and join the night watchman for a guided stroll along the town's illuminated ramparts.
