Ruled by Romans 2,000 years ago, the forested hills and slate cliffs that cling to the Rhine, Moselle, and Saar rivers seduce with their sensual delights. Swathed in vineyards and studded with castles, the particularly magical stretch of Rhine between regal Koblenz and bustling Mainz has inspired poets and painters with its collection of ruined, hill-top castles and tiny wine villages for centuries. Follow the hairpin twists and turns of the vineyard-lined Moselle river to find Germany’s oldest city, Trier, which is still littered with Roman ruins. Just next door, sleepy Saarland is a gateway to neighboring France.
