Experience an enchanting journey along the Moselle, which takes you from Koblenz via picturesque wine villages back to the royal city.

In Cochem, one of the highlights of the trip, the majestic Reichsburg Castle rises high above the river valley. From here, you can enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view of the surrounding vineyards and the historic old town, which invites you to linger with its small cafés, wine taverns and boutiques.

Whether on a romantic boat trip, a hike through the vineyards or enjoying local specialties - this trip will remain unforgettable.

Itinerary

day 1 | Koblenz

Koblenz already impresses with its unique location at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. The first port of call when visiting the city should therefore also be the so-called "German Corner" with its imposing Kaiser Wilhelm monument. Since 2002, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Upper Middle Rhine Valley". A beautiful view of Koblenz and its two rivers opens up during a visit to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Perched 120 meters above the Rhine, the 16th-century fortification is the second largest fortress still standing in Europe. Spectacular is already the ascent in a gondola of the cable car..

Located in the West of the country, Koblenz is one of the oldest cities in Germany. It is situated on both banks of the river Rhine, at its confluence with the Moselle River. The beginnings of Koblenz can be traced back to its military beginnings around 8 BC. The city is rich in its history and heritage and is easily explored on foot. Take the cable car crossing over the river Rhine for spectacular aerial views or enjoy the city from the one thousand year old fortress, Ehrenbreitstein. The upper middle Rhine Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its unique landscape can be enjoyed and discovered through the interactive multimedia journey at the Romanticum. Historical and architectural sites of interest include Stolzenfels Castle, the Electoral Palace of Koblenz and Old Town. From the romantic winding streets and small squares of Old Town, stroll through the alleyways from the Church of the Holy Virgin to the St Kastor Basilica and enjoy the picturesque buildings and squares along the way. Koblenz is also very popular for its Riesling and strong Spatburgunder wines since the Romans introduced it two thousand years ago.


day 2-3 | Traben-Trarbach

The beautiful town of Treis-Karden is located directly on the Moselle in one of Germany's most beautiful regions. It is particularly well-known among holidaymakers and hikers for its proximity to Eltz Castle. However, if you don't have enough time for a hike, you can also discover many exciting sights within the town: for example, you can pay a visit to Maria Engelport Monastery and attend mass or even concerts. You can also visit the chapel or the so-called Lourdes Grotto. It is also worth visiting the church of St. Castor, known as the Mosel Cathedral, as well as the fountain of the same name and its sculpture.

The small wine town of Traben-Trarbach is located directly on the Moselle River in a beautiful valley. Surrounded by numerous vineyards, it is one of the most beautiful places in the area, romantic, quaint and modern. In addition to wine tasting and a boat trip on the Moselle, you can take a hike to Grevenburg Castle, a ruin high up on the mountain, but the Buddha Museum should also be on your itinerary. A medieval marketplace adorns the center of the small town and the bridge gate is also one of the ancient relics.


day 3 | Bernkastel-Kues

Numerous half-timbered houses adorn the town of Bernkastel, directly on the Moselle River. Above is a castle with a restaurant and in the old town you can find numerous small boutiques and stores. The Moselle invites to an unforgettable boat trip, but also to kayak or canoe. Bernkastel is known for its ideal location on the Moselle and for its quaint old town. Together with Kues it forms a double town, on the left and on the right of the banks of the Moselle, with numerous restaurants and bars.
