A Boat Trip - the Loveliest Approach to the Rhine |
 What
started in the early 19th century, when British travellers were the
first to visit the Romantic Rhine by steam boat, today remains the
most enjoyable way of seeing the picturesque countryside, as castles
and medieval towns drift by. Those who have visited the region will
have fond memories of the Loreley Cliffs and the impressive river
landscape. It
is possible to enjoy the Rhine more quietly and contemplatively,
when the sun begins to set and passengers on the sun deck sit in the
warm, evening sunlight, move their deck chairs towards the west and
enjoy the beauty of the Rhine panorama bathed in a golden glow. The
castle walls, the green vineyards on the valley slopes and the brown
cliffs seem to be alight, and this beauty is reflected in the
glistening waves of the river. No wonder that people are breathless
at the sight.

Welcome to the enchanted world of firelight! On five magic summer
nights an ever-changing kaleidoscope of lights erupts above the
river and shimmering cascades of colour plunge into the romantic
Rhine Valley - the "Rhine in Flames".
