- electrical bikes are also available on request.

we offer up to four tailor-made and carefully composed sets of excursions that you can book in advance at

favourable prices. You can, of course, still book all excursions individually, la carte, for the point is for you

to be able to select the shore programme that suits you best.

Castle Marksburg, Braubach on the Rhine

A journey along the famous river Rhine brings together cultu-

ral diversity and an incredible number of alternating impres-

sions. Although this imposing river ranks today among the

worlds most important waterways from an economic point

of view, it has lost nothing of its fascination acquired in the

course of its turbulent history. Goethe himself drew inspira-

tion from the beautiful Rhine, as did many other famous po-

ets who understandably fell into raptures when they contem-

plated its dreamy riverside scenery; the central Rhine valley,

steeped in legend, and the Moselle region with its delightful

vineyards, make perfect destinations for romantics and con-noisseurs alike.

The Rhine, probably Europes most important waterway, has more variety than you would ever believe; this river is

blessed with a splendid wealth of scenery and sights from the Swiss Alps right down to its estuary into the North

Sea. You travel from Amsterdam, the city of canals, across the Dutch IJsselmeer, upstream to Cologne, and on

through the most scenically attractive central section of the Rhine where you can enjoy an incredible view of the

legendary Loreley rock. Your trip continues to Strasbourg, the main city of Alsace with its French charm, and ends

up in Basel, where France, Germany and Switzerland meet.

Wachau, Danube

The lovely blue Danube no other river in the world flows through as many

countries. On its journey through ten different countries, Europes second-

longest river passes through quite a number of exciting big cities between

its source in the Black Forest and its estuary into the Black Sea as well as

constantly providing spectacular views of fascinating riverscapes. It is said that

the worlds loveliest cities have always been built beside water and a journey

along the majestic Danube testifies to that truth.

BucharestEach year Romanias capital excites countless

visitors with its diverse architecture and its

colourful mixture of styles all grouped together;

French influence has earned the city the nickname

of Paris of the East, while Oriental and Italian

elements can be discerned in it as well. A detour

to the imposing triumphal arch is well worthwhile,

as does one to the listed Athenaeum or to any of

the citys many museums, where internationally

acclaimed masterpieces by Rubens, Rembrandt,

Monet and Jan van Eyck are to be found, in

addition to contemporary Romanian art.
