Palatinate
The Palatinate is a diverse region in southwestern Germany, bordered by the Rhine to the east and France to the South. Often called the 'Tuscany of Germany,' it is a land of dramatic contrasts: to the west lies the deep, quiet green of the Palatinate Forest, while the east is dominated by the sun-drenched vineyards of the German Wine Route.
