Hiking along River Mosel

The loop of river Mosel near the village of Bremm (bottom right) in the southwest of Germany, May 29. The photo was taken from a hiking trail along the Calmont that is considered one of the steepest vineyards in the world. Wine growing in the Mosel region dates back to Roman times.

Frankfurt Wine

Frankfurt Wine

Mellow Riesling grapes wait for harvest at the Lohrberg vineyard in the northeast of the city, Oct.6. Frankfurt is one of the few major German cities to have a vineyard within its city limits. Up to 10.000 bottles of white wine are produced here every year. (The grapes in this picture are back-lit by a flashlight)
