Trip to Germany

[Scoop]

I've had some problems with my e-mail server, CCK (which I hope are resolved).

If you really want to do the Mosel thing -- it too is very picturesque, not to mention the many fine producers, delicate wines -- you have essentially two routes to consider from Strasbourg. Explore either 1) going from Strasbourg via Saarbruecken to Trier (a very nice city that was a major Roman outpost, and a great place from which to access the Mosel wine region); or 2) train it from Strasbourg up the Rhine to Koblenz (where you would access the valley from the northern end). You might need to consult Bundesbahn schedules/prices before you make up your mind.

The train ride from Mainz to Koblenz is gorgeous.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
