A special treat at the very start of your journey through Germany is a RHINE CRUISE along the most scenic section of the Rhine River with castle-crested hills, terraced vineyards, pretty wine towns, and finally the Lorelei Cliff. Disembark and drive to the ruins of the bridge in Remagen, where American troops breached Hitlers West Wall. Spend the afternoon in Cologne with plenty of time to visit the awesome gothic CATHEDRAL. Its twin 515-foot towers, five naves, splendid stained-glass windows, and the shrine of the Three Holy Kings are eloquent testimony to the quality of medieval engineering and craftsmanship. (BB,D)
Day 4: Cologne-Berlin.
Board the EUROCITY TRAIN and arrive in Berlin.

Day 6: Berlin-Leipzig-Nuremberg.
On your way south through what used to be the "other" Germany, visit Leipzig, an important center since the Middle Ages. Visit the THOMASKIRCHE, where J.S. Bach worked, and the Market Square with its fine renaissance buildings. Continue to Nuremberg, the town of childrens toys and gingerbread. It is also the birthplace of painter Albrecht Derer and poet and meistersinger Hans Sachs. (BB,D)
Day 7: Nuremberg-Rothenburg-Munich.
Admire Nurembergs impressive medieval ramparts and walk through the pedestrian area of the charming Old Town. Visit ST. SEBALD CHURCH, painstakingly reconstructed as a monument to peace from the rubble of near-total wartime destruction. Then focus on Germanys Romantic Road, which leads from the flat country towards the Alps. Youll love medieval Rothenburg with its ramparts and towers, cobbled lanes, and 16th-century houses. Now head south to the Danube Valley and Munich. How about a stein of beer at the Hofbrauhaus tonight? (BB,D)
Day 8: Munich-Oberammergau.

In the afternoon leave the big city for the garden-like landscape of the Bavarian Alps. Spend the next two nights in the Passion Play town of Oberammergau. (BB,D)
Day 9: Oberammergau.
Excursion to Neuschwanstein. Highlight today is a visit to King Ludwigs NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE, one of the most famous German castles. Follow your Local Guide through this fairytale castle on its craggy outcrop high above a sparkling lake. Afternoon and evening at leisure; ask your Tour Director for suggestions. (BB)
Day 10: Oberammergau-Lindau- Black Forest.
A scenic day starts out with a leisurely drive along the panoramic German Alpine Road to the sunny northern shore of Lake Constance, Europes largest freshwater reservoir.

Then back to Frankfurt for a farewell dinner with your companions of a fascinating vacation. (BB,D)
