If the water in the Rhine were golden wine, it would probably sparkle no more beautifully than it does now in the autumn evening sun. The last rays throw warm light on the river, which takes one curve after the other. Castles and vineyards line the trellis, and we stop, panting, on a rocky outcrop. After the fifth ascent today, through a sparse forest full of holm oaks. Melodies of Rhenish songs blow around us from the valley; It’s the wine festival, the glasses are clinking brightly. So if the water were golden wine, everyone sings, “then I would like so much to be a little fish”.
