Europe has some really sweet gorgeous river valleys - which ones do you favor?

GERMANY'S MOSEL VALLEY

I'll start with saying Germany's Mosel Valley, between Koblenz and Trier is the tops to me. A sinuous Mosel runs in a deep often vineyard-carpeted gorge with walls several hundred feet on most sides, with picture-postcard cute wine towns like Cochem, Bernkastlel, Zell, etc and a slew of old ruined castles looming high above the river - in summer there are numerous village wine festivals - though the nearby Rhine River Gorge gets much more play I'll take the Mosel anyday.

Other sweet river valleys - The Danube between Melk and Krems in Austria

The Elbe in Germany's Saxon Switzerland between just south of Dresden and the Czech border

And yes the castle-studded Rhine River Gorge between Koblenz and Bingen/Rudesheim.

Which river valleys have you enjoyed?

Well, obviously the Dordogne and Vézère.

It's been quite a few years since I've done it, but I used to love driving the Meuse.

I drove through the Gorges du Tarn in 2008 and
loved it.

The Ogwen valley.

Not a valley but the Drentsche Aa is just wonderful.

The Upper Thames Valley, the Rivers Wye and Severn, the Tamar valley plus any number of valleys of other British rivers, big and small.

The Altmühl valley and Main Valley in Germany

The Tweed Valley in Scotland is quite scenic:

The Douro River Valley in Portugal with terraced vineyards lining the hillsides.

So many great river valleys in Germany - kind of weird and places like France comparatively have few - really scenic river valleys?

The Ebro river valley from Miravet to Tortosa, and finally the delta.
