I was on a train trip again: the second time this year going south through west Germany. I’ve just realised that I never posted any photos from our holiday in July which crossed a similar area, just straight down to Frankfurt, then Karlsruhe and Strasbourg with Paris as the destination. This time for my trip out I took a train going through the very western area near the Netherlands and Belgium all the way along the river Rhine down to Koblenz and then along the river Mosel almost all the way to Trier (which is very close to Luxemburg). On my way back I took a different route, I went by bus over to Idar-Oberstein, then on a regional train to Frankfurt and from there (on a slight detour because of an emergency on the normal route) back home to Hanover.

The purpose of the trip was celebrating a birthday of a teenage days friend of mine and that was fun - but the journey down there along the rivers was spectacular. The trip back took me through a very forest-covered hilly region called Hunsrück which is also beautiful but being on a bus made it impossible to take any good photos.

Mural depicting viticulture on a house in Winningen on the Moselle (near Koblenz) with the Latin saying, which apparently dates back to Roman times: “Vinum mosellanum omni tempere sanum” ("Mosel wine is healthy at all times")
