Bernkastel-Kues
I always knew Germany had spectacular scenery but having the opportunity to visit lots of beautiful towns and villages has been much better than I could have imagined. I expected castles and quaint old villages but to stand in front of a house that has been lived in for over 600 years and still habitable is quite something else. The German people take great pride in this beautiful region and deservedly so. The miles and miles of spectacular forests which a few weeks ago glistened snow white are now warm rustic colours. The sun is getting warm and in a short time the forests will be changing colour yet again as the new growth bursts through.
Saarburg Castle
The vines have not starting this years growth yet so all along the Mosel are the perfectly trimmed stalks of neat rows on impossibly steep hillsides facing the river. Everywhere there is evidence of the regions best know produce - wine. And signs advertising tastings are everywhere.
