Warum ist es am Rhein so schön
Am Rhein so schön?
Weil die Mädel so lustig
Und die Burschen so durstig.
The Middle Rhine is a narrow valley with towns and villages at the banks of the river and steep hills on both sides, roads on either side and train tracks too.
To the North is Frankfurt, to the East is the Odenwald, to the South is more of the Upper Rhine Valley towards Karlsruhe, and to the West is the Palatinate Forest.
Just stand in the middle and turn:
No go faster:
And even faster:
Dizzy yet?

I like the grey offset with red and the different shades of wood.
It’s the building of the summer tobogganing centre at the Peterberg in the Saarland.

I’ve just come back from the Middle Rhine wine region (between Bingen and Koblenz), part of which is a UNESCO heritage site. It is quite breathtaking to see the steep slope vineyards on either side. Getting up the steps between the different vineyards must be even more breathtaking, literally.
Germans love to organise themselves in clubs, called “Verein”. This particular one is dedicated to uphold the traditions of Weinheim. The somewhat long and cumbersome name stems from the fact that it is an amalgamation of two clubs, none of which wanted to give up their traditional name.
