East and West Germany are together again without the wall. This is a country where the old spirit of Europe's heartland is still alive and a young generation is rebuilding a nation. Travel through United Germany and see the baroque splendor of Bavaria and the palaces of Potsdam and Dresden. Experience a medieval pageant held by the present Count of Satsvey, complete with jesters, bards and knights who display amazing horsemanship. See the natural wonders Germany has to offer. Take a cruise on the Rhine River and drift over cathedrals and vineyards in a hot air balloon. From the northwestern part of Germany to the southeastern area, enjoy the tranquil beauty of the Baltic Sea, walk through the romantic Black Forest and climb Germany's highest peak-the Zugspitze. Visit Heidelberg, see the "Pied Piper" of Hamlin and take a stroll through the gorgeous gardens on the island of Mainau. Feel the desolation when driving along the former "border" with gutted watch towers on the endless stretch of rusted barbed wire. Finally, see Berlin, once again Germany's capital. Marvel at the gigantic Olympic Stadium, go through the Brandenburg Gate and walk unobstructed through the once notorious "Checkpoint Charlie"
