The World from Above

This journey begins at the Moehne Reservoir and Dam, which played an important part in a famous WWII bombing raid. At the key industrial city of Duisburg, the River Ruhr flows into the River Rhine, whose course we will follow south for the rest of this journey. Close to the river at Cologne is one of Europe's finest cathedrals, which can be seen from almost everywhere in the city. Continuing up the Rhine we explore the majestic Rhine Gorge, which boasts 40 castles, including the fairy-tale Stolzenfels Castle, a superb example of 19th-century Prussian Rhine Romanticism.
