6The Rhine Valley (Rhine Gorge)

The Rhine Valley, particularly the section known as the Rhine Gorge, is a breathtaking landscape that seems plucked from a mythological tale.

This stretch of the Rhine River is dotted with dramatic cliffs, lush vineyards, and charming villages. The Lorelei Rock, a steep, 433-foot-high slate rock, is said to be home to a siren whose singing lured sailors to their doom. Cruise along the Rhine and take in the enchanting scenery and legends of this magical region.
