German Castle and Romantic RoadThe road from Heidelberg to the golden city of Prague is one of the most popular routes for foreign visitors. Heidelberg castle, although in ruins since 1689, still is a proud monument to Renaissance architecture. What a view from its terrace across the town and the Neckar river!

Baltic Sea with Denmark, Island of Rügen and Hanseatic CitiesBremen and Hamburg, Germanys largest port cities, are our first and second goals, both modern, yet old Hanseatic cities. Onward we cross into Denmark at Flensburg and continue across the islands of Fünen and Seeland en route to Copenhagen. This is Viking country with many historic sites of this fabled people. Copenhagen is a shopper’s paradise, not to mention the market store of the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain factory. Others, meanwhile, pay a visit to the Carlsberg and Tuborg breweries or to the fantastic National Museum. Not to forget: The Tivoli Gardens. Driving across to Sweden over the new Oresund bridge (European’s longest) we take the ferry across the Baltic see to the German island of Ruegen. This area, since the reunification in 1991, has developed into one of Germany’s best tourist attractions. The mighty city of Lübeck, where the Hanseatic League, the first international trade and commerce organization, was founded in the 13th century, with its magnificent gothic churches in “brick-architecture” is on our way back to Cologne or Frankfurt.
