The river Rhine, being the longest river in Germany, coming from Switzerland, is flowing from the south to the north until it reaches Rotterdam in the Netherlands, where it join's the north sea.
Only once is the river Rhine changing direction towards the west and that is at Mainz/Wiesbaden, after 35 km at the height of Rüdesheim it changes back towards the north. Between those points the beautiful Rheingau can be found with its south facing hills. Here one of the best German Riesling wines are grown.
