Enjoy sightseeing in Strasbourg, Koblenz, Cologne and Heidelberg and a canal cruise in picturesque Amsterdam. Sail through the dramatic Rhine Gorge, see Lorelei Rock and visit the quaint wine village of Rüdesheim.
The Rhine Gorge is a popular name for the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a 65 km section of the River Rhine between Koblenz and Bingen in Germany. It was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in June 2002 for a unique combination of geological, historical, cultural and industrial reasons.
Even in the 19th century, reefs and rapids made it extremely dangerous for ships to pass this point on the Rhine River. The legend tells us, that a siren called "Lorelei" bewitched the hearts of the sailors and when they looked up to the rock, their boat crashed and they sank.
Rüdesheim is a winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge and thereby part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It lies in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis in the Regierungsbezirk of Darmstadt in Hesse, Germany. It is officially known as Rüdesheim am Rhein, which distinguishes it from Rüdesheim an der Nahe.
