This video guide to Germany provides a nice overview of the Rhine and Mosel regions of the country. Though the host, Rick Steves, is given to clumsy descriptions (he calls Rothenburg the "king of medieval cuteness") and at one point forces us to watch his young son eat a pickle, he is very knowledgeable about the area and its history. He takes us through towns that were once ravaged by World War II, colorful marketplaces, and villages along the sleepy Mosel River, which he prefers to the more trafficked Rhine. The focus, as in other videos from the Travel the World series, is on local people and customs. He stops by a village called Zell, for example, where the people tell long stories and drink lots of homegrown wine. In another location we see the end of a wedding where bride and groom saw a log to seal the deal. He also hits tourist hot spots like the ravaged Reinsfels Castle and the incredibly ornate Prince Bishop's Palace. The video includes all sorts of practical information, too, such as how to use tourist offices, how to ride the trains, and how to survive on a tour bus. --Jennifer Vogel

Summary: Captures the atmosphere
Comment: Rick Steves does an excellent job of capturing what it feels like to travel through Germany, with plenty of hands-on details that I wish I'd learned before my first trip. (For example, he shows you how the train system works, which ameliorates the intimidation factor.)We winced, however, every time he pronounced something in German. Trier's pronounced Treeeeer, Steve, not Try-er. It's okay with me if he's a monoglot (so am I), but if you're educating folks about a country, at least get the names right. Don't let that quibble distract you from the value of this video. I learned quite a bit about both the Mosel/Rhine area and Rothenberg, and I'd spent a few days there (saddled down with guidebooks) on my last trip.

Summary: Germany: the Rhine and Mosel, the Romantic Road
Comment: This video not only shows some very impressive sights in Germany on the Rhine and Mosel but also gives recommendations on the best things to see and the history behind them. It talks about travel by train, the train stations, boat travel, and tourist offices. It also suggests ways to find quality inexpensive lodging. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
