Beginning in the beautiful and picturesque city of Cologne, with its world-renowned cathedral, we take the train along the famous Rhine, with a rare view from the East bank of the Rhine, riding the rails usually reserved for Germany's busy freight trains, as well as the passenger lines of the West bank. Past the famous Lorelei to the city of Bonn, we take a ride along the Drachenffelsbahn, the scenic and historic rack railway of Konigswinter. This magnificent journey stops for sightseeing at some of Germany's fascinating castles, pausing again at the historic town of Wiesbaden, before continuing onwards to the busy and welcoming city of Frankfurt.
