Germany has long been the home of many of the fairy tales we heard when growing up. The Brothers Grimm centered almost all of their tales in Germany. Hansel and Grettle, Puss in Boots, Rapunzle, Sleeping Beauty, the Pied Piper, Cinderella, the Frog Prince and Little Red Riding Hood all took place in Germany. And the castles we love almost all have their roots in Germany.

In Germany, rivers have long been the most important transportation arteries in the country and today they mark some of the most beautiful routes through the country. They flow through regions rich with history, lead to Germany’s largest cities and provide a romantic backdrop complete with picturesque castles and half-timbered river towns. Today the same rivers are lined with meandering, well-maintained bicycle paths.
