We've only been in Germany for a little over 3 weeks. We've been checking out the local area. This past weekend we took our first trip out of the area over to the Rhine. First we visited Burg Rheinstein and took a cruise down the Rhine. Then we had lunch and a wine tasting. It was a nice little day trip.

The castle:
