Rhine River, Düsseldorf, Germany: A Meandering Journey Through Culture, History, and Everyday Wonder
One of the amazing places where I’ve explored the Rhine was in Düsseldorf, Germany. It always starts with a ripple, or so it seems to me, standing on the edge of the Rhine River in Düsseldorf, Germany, watching the lazy water slide by in a gray-green ribbon, both endless and familiar. The river feels more like a living friend than a feature on a map, winding its way across Europe, carving borders, shaping stories, sending scents of mud and memory into the spring air as if to remind me, here is where kingdoms were built and broken, where trade bustled and dreams floated downstream along with stray petals and tossed stones.
