A vacation trip to Germany can be a trip through many different settings, representing many periods of history. Scenery, architecture, and the ambiance of the towns and villages, all change from one section of the country to another.

Many of the great rivers of Europe flow through Germany, and combined with a network of canals they provide waterway channels for movement of ships, barges, and tourists from one part of the country to the other. The Donau (Danube), Elbe, Main, Mosel, Neckar, Oder, Rhein, Ruhr, Saar, and the Weser Rivers, among others, each play an important role in the commerce of the country. They also provide the tourist with points of interest, beautiful scenery, and a spectacular mode of travel.

We have explored Germany extensively on each of our nine trips to Europe. Germany shares borders with nine other countries, (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and Poland) and we have crossed those borders more than a hundred times.

Since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, during two trips we have driven about 3,000 miles, and spent nearly a month in former East Germany, gathering information about the cities and the countryside, but of more interest, talking to people who had been under a very repressive government for all of their lives, or at least for the past 50 to 60 years of their lives.

What will be discussed are the towns, the villages, the scenic points, and the people who added enjoyment and information to our travels. We'll present travel anecdotes and recount events that occurred during our journeys. We'll offer our observations of what makes travel in Germany so memorable to us.
