This German River Is Europe’s Best-Kept Secret

Rick Steves just dropped a travel bomb: skip the crowded Rhine and head to the Mosel River for fairytale villages, epic castles, and world-class Riesling—all minus the tourist mobs. Think sleepy towns, misty vineyards, and wine festivals that locals actually go to. His fave? Beilstein, where you can sip valley-made wine with a killer river view. If you want a real European escape, the Mosel is calling your name! #TravelTips #HiddenGems #Europe #Germany #WineLovers #Travel
