Last week, we left Belgium again for a few days. Belgium is a very small country, so in maximum 3 hours you can cross the whole country! We went to Germany, to the Valley of the famous "Mosel"-river. It was only 3 1/2 hours drive! That valley is really beautiful, and most of the riverbanks and slopes are full of vineyards!

We saw lots of typical German houses!

Look at this narrow house, how it fits between the other houses!

Of course, when you travel to a "wine-region", you HAVE to taste the local wine! The quality of the white Mosel-wine is worldfamous. A place for tasting is called "eine Weinstube". This in one of the 2 places where we went! You can taste and buy wine directly from the winegrower

We found a lovely craftshop in Bernkastel. These benches at the intrance were loaded with oh sooooo tempting goods

Lut - I always enjoy your vacation pictures!! These are just beautiful :) Some of them look oh so familiar from our own visits. I think the German cities are so clean and pretty. The shop owners seem to make the entrances so inviting and gracious.

I especially liked your "romantic Mosel" picture - ver artistic!! Of course, the wooden kitties at that one place would make me stop by!! :D

Beautiful scenery! I love these quaint villages. :) Have not been in the area you mention, but I'm sure I've had some wine from there. ;)

I miss mountains and rivers in Denmark.
Thanks for sharing.

That's quite close to where I come from- so I know this landscape for a very long time.
Makes me a little bit homesick.
