About this listen

 Since Roman days the Rhine valley has always had great strategic importance as one of the main arteries in Europe. During the Middle Ages more castles were built within its narrow confines than in any other valley in the world, and today the remains of these once proud structures form an integral part of the Rhine landscape, adding greatly to the romantic atmosphere which has made it famous.
"Castles on the Rhine" is the perfect book for both the traveler and the historian. It not only contains tons of photos, but the book goes through a brief historical summary of the area, then gives an individual historic account of each castle of the romantic Middle Rhine. Castle ameneties and current web links are included for the traveler wishing to make reservations in the many castle restaurants and castle hotels found along this breathtaking section of the river. Castle legends are also included, where they exist, making this the ultimate guide to exploring the Rhine River valley.
