Germany is a diverse country with a lot to offer as a holiday destination including stunning scenery, relaxing spas and delightful towns and cities. Bad Reichenhall is located in the very south of the country, close to the border with Austria (and therefore just a short transfer from Salzburg airport). It is a pretty spa town surrounded by magnificent mountains. Slightly further north is Passau, from where you can join a wonderful rive cruise along the 'blue' Danube through Austria and Slovakia to Hungary. You will travel in luxury aboard the 5 star MV Mozart ship and call at many beautiful and fascinating cities and sights along the way.
