I enjoyed the calmness of the Moselle. I enjoyed the middle Rhine with its castles. I loved the museums. The Casino in Baden-Baden was a nice surprise.. – Tauck Traveler Review,
www.tauck.com
The second-longest river in Europe, the Danube originates in the Black Forest in Germany and empties into the Black Sea. Daily life, past and present, is chronicled along its banks, taking shape in grand cities and medieval hamlets where you can hop off to explore the local food, architecture, arts, and culture, and in castle battlements echoing with legends of kings and their courts, the vanquished and the conquerors. Wine flows from vineyards as the river courses by, enticing Tauck guests to stop and sip for a while, before continuing down a highway once traveled by kings.
• You’re the guest of honor at an Imperial dinner in a private Viennese palace where you are transported back in time through music, dance and décor
• When he’s in town, the prince himself welcomes you to his 700-year-old family castle in Prague for wine, dinner and a tour of their priceless art collection
• Wine tasting delights in the castle cellar of the Residenz in Würzburg; libraries, open only to Tauck, whisper with treasures untold inside Strahov Monastery; and Bucharest’s People’s Palace invites Tauck in for an exclusive dinner
Romance thrives along River Rhine, flowing with a mighty rhythm for some 800 miles, and each castle and every rock comes with a story. The Rhine Valley is storybook Germany. The Moselle Valley enchants with fairy-tale settings. The Upper Middle Rhine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, parades 1,000 years of history in its 40 hilltop medieval castles and fortresses, and all along the river and valleys ancient terraced vineyards thrive.
• Don a chef’s hat for lunch at the only terraced castle in the Netherlands, where food and fun is served up in a cellar built in Roman grottoes
• Venture off the beaten track to discover Swiss towns, like Baden-Baden and lakeside Lucerne, treasures included on Tauck’s shore excursions
• Have dinner at 1,000-year-old Reichenstein Castle, hearing insider tales of the robber knights who once preyed on travelers cruising the Rhine
