Trips

 

Cruising down the Rhine, we saw two very important buildings: Maximilian’s Brewery and the Koblenzer Brewery. Then we walked through the little wine producing town of Winnigen, Germany.

Cochem, Germany provided some interesting buildings as well as the Reichsburg Castle, which we were able to tour.

	Trier, Germany was a far up the Mosel as we ventured. Many different buildings (and churches) were to be found all over the town.
