Our trip to the Mosel-Valley in Germany (2 extra pics added!!)

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!

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

OH gosh that's beautiful - I just wanna hop a plane and get over there! But I wouldn't know where to START!

Thanks for sharing those beautiful pics!

Oh how I would love to visit my cousins in Germany. How beautiful is that castle. Love your pics!!!!!! Looks like you had a great time. I love the German arcitecture.

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

Just beautiful, Lut! I love it when you travel because I see parts of the world I would not see, otherwise! :)

Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait until I can visit Germany.

Lut just wow! Those pictures are great! I love the pictures of the narrow houses and that castle! Makes me want to go to Germany more and more! Great photos! Thanks for sharing Lut!!

Amazing! You should be a photographer!

Is that a "payed" job ? ;) :p

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.

Absolutely beautiful. You sure do have a knack for taking fabulous pictures :)
