Postcards From Readers: Cochem, Germany

The photographer: Gary Orr of Sacramento

Behind the lens: My wife and I completed a bike and barge vacation from Amsterdam to Cologne. When we arrived in Cologne, we rented a car and wandered the hills from Cologne and followed the Mosel River “Fairly Tale Route” all the way to Luxembourg. We took this photo of the village of Cochem from the courtyard of the 12th-century Reichsburg castle. — The photographer: Gary Orr of Sacramento Behind the lens: My wife and I completed a bike and barge vacation from Amsterdam to Cologne.
