Rheinland-Pfalz And Saarland Overview

With plunging hills, adorable hamlets, and a surfeit of worn castle ruins, Rheinland-Pfalz is speckled with historically rich remnants of the Middle Ages. The fatal call of Lorelei sirens and the fireside folklore of Nibelung treasure echo across the dramatic landscape. The region is not without actual nourishment—the vineyards of the Rhein and Mosel valleys produce world-famous wines. The Rheinland electors once chose the kings of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Saarland’s minerals have been coveted by Germany and France for centuries.
