YouTube Video Description↓

In December, 2024 we cruised with the Viking Tiafli from Amsterdam to Basel, with an emphasis on the Winter Markets. In this video, we pick up just after we had finished in Strasbourg, and we visit Freiburg and Staten, Germany and their Winter Markets. You'll see a tour of a schnapps distillery and river locks - lots of winter locks!
