Rhine in Flames
Categories: Family and Kids, Sightseeing, Cultural and History, Entertainment
Europe’s biggest boat parade with over 80 boats passing castles and palaces illuminated by fireworks. The fireworks show in the Middle Rhine Valley against the background of fantastic, medieval scenery is a very special event.
Besides the eye catching fireworks with illuminated ships, burning medieval castles, Bengal town lightning and light-reflection in the flowing waters of the Rhine river, breath-taking acoustics make the visitor tremble when the rolling thunder of firecrackers and their echoes break at the mountain side.
The huge international event "Rhine in flames" exhibits five extraordinary fireworks, with four of them taking place in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage. Each of those events is a great experience of its own.
