Rhine River
Learning German Language on the beautiful River Rhine
To speak another language is of great benefit when visiting another country either for business or pleasure. Learning German Language is an excellent choice to achieve that goal.
If you visit Germany it is helpful to speak the language. Which part of the country are interested in? Let's explore another part of Germany. Maybe you are interested in Rhine River. It begins its long journey at the Rheinwaldhorn Glacier, near Andermatt in the Swiss Alps. It flows east and north and passes through Lake Constance (Bodensee). Near Schaffhausen it plunges over a spectacular waterfall, the Rheinfall. From there its journey is north through a large part of Germany and empties into the North Sea, near Rotterdam. The total journey is 820 miles, or 1320 km, and is one of the longest rivers in Europe. It flows by vineyards, ancient castles and historical sites, and industrial cities. It passes through or borders on the countries of Lichtenstein, Austria, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
The river has a long history. It is mentioned as early as 56 BC when Julius Caesar crossed it from France into Germany. It first served as the rough border between the Roman Empire and the German tribes along Caesar's conquest of Gaul. Attempts to push Roman rule beyond the Rhine were abandoned after the battle of the Teutoburg Forest, in which three Roman legions were annihilated by German barbarians in 9 AD.
In later years Knights and Royal Families built castles along its banks, and in more modern times, the Barons of Industry made their home here.
There is a lot to do and see along the Rhine. If you want to visit the vineyards, a good time to go is in the fall when you can taste the new wine. Maybe you are interested in one of the Rhine cruises. There are many to choose from. The longest runs from Basil, Switzerland to Amsterdam in Holland. You will encounter many castles and fortresses on a cruise, and you can practice German with the other passengers on the ship.
You don't want to miss the Lorelei, near Castle Katz (cat). Sailors were so taken by Lorelei's beauty, as she sat on top of the river gorge, that they missed the bend in the river and wrecked their ships on the rocks.
Some of the castles have been converted to Hotels, with modern amenities. One of the beneficial outcomes of the destruction of World War II is the ancient buildings and monuments had to be restored in the original style, with modern conveniences added.
So, on your next trip to Germany, you can enjoy yourself with your newfound knowledge of the language, which you can learn with the help of Learning German Language.

the best river cruise in Europe. the Danube or the Rhine River?
for a two week cruise. and what travel company is the best?
That's tough, as both are great. My personal preference would be the Rhine, and you could include the Moselle in a two-week itinerary. I have family who very much enjoyed a cruise with Scenic Tours - a two-week Rhine/Moselle itinerary is available at http://scenictours.com/destination/european-river-cruises/tl-package/2011/14-day-and-moselle-cr-amba.2/tour/14-day-romantic-rhine-and-moselle-cruise-amba.2-1112/ otherwise I would suggest you take a look at http://www.cruisecritic.com as you will get good reviews of cruise lines there.
