On this somewhat more challenging tour through enchanting river landscapes, everything revolves around rocks, stones and what man has made of them. Along the way, you conduct your own research in the quarry in search of fossilised creatures from prehistoric times and marvel at what people before you have wrested from the rock. But rock is not only taken apart, the castles along the route tell the story of how people have been reassembling it into impressive structures for centuries.
