Walking holidays in Germany
This great country can regard itself rightly as the economic and cultural heart of Middle Europe, but it is for its culture, and its music in particular, that many of us hold Germany in such high esteem. Our two routes here are in the Rhine Gorge – no other part of the country can offer such a combination of scenic interest, history, legend and wine. Every town along the gorge has its individual character – and each a sprinkling of castles, many of which you can visit.
Riesling is Germany’s grape, and on the Rhine you will sample Rieslings from many different terroirs, where the slightest change of aspect can turn a wine from flint dry to succulent fruitiness.
Our Rhine Valley route (On Foot’s original holiday in this stunning valley) will take you to the very heart of the small towns and the best of the paths along the upper edge of the gorge. For a more hedonistic experience, try Castles of the Rhine, with more nights in stylish castle hotels and some fine dining along the way, as well as slightly easier walking.
