DISCOVER THEM SPECTACULAR RIVER LANDSCAPE
THE MOSEL
Here, you can expect ancient world cultural heritage, impressive castles, exquisite cuisine, historic wine towns and cities, Moselle cycle paths, and of course, a beautiful hiking region for relaxed walks or climbing tours on the Calmontsteig, the steepest vineyard in Europe.
Koblenz – Where Rivers Meet
Koblenz is a vibrant excursion destination at the meeting point of the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
The city combines 2,000 years of history with a charming old town, wide promenades, and famous sights such as the Deutsches Eck, where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet, and the impressive Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, which today forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Visitors appreciate the mixture of romantic squares, culture, cafés, wine taverns, and a wide range of leisure activities — from river cruises to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Rhine Valley.
Traben Trarbach - Jugendstil Juwel der Mosel
Traben‑Trarbach lockt mit elegantem Jugendstil direkt an einer Moselschleife: prächtige Villen, ehemalige Weinkellereien und die ikonische Brückentor‑Silhouette zeugen vom einstigen Weinhandel‑Boom. Über der Doppelstadt wacht die Ruine Grevenburg, unten laden Moselpromenade, Buddha‑Museum und gemütliche Vinotheken zu einem entspannten Tagesausflug ein.
Trip to Beilstein
Framed by two streams, lies the wildly romantic town of Beilstein. The small village is often called the most beautiful and romantic Moselle town. The old town - once enclosed by the town wall built from 1310 - still gives us a glimpse of a medieval town through numerous historic buildings. Poverty among the farmers and winegrowers until well into the 20th century hardly allowed any thought of structural changes in the town. Therefore, the medieval townscape remained almost untouched, which today leads to the unmistakable charm of Beilstein, which hardly any of our guests can escape.
Trier, die älteste Stadt Deutschland
Trier vereint römische Monumente und mittelalterlichen Charme auf kleinstem Raum: Porta Nigra, Dom, Kaiserthermen und Konstantinbasilika liegen nur Schritte voneinander entfernt, während gemütliche Weinlokale am Moselufer zum Verschnaufen einladen. Unsere Freundin Bettina führt hier das "Cafe Glücklich" mit viel Leidenschaft. Schaut gerne einmal vorbei.
Trip to Bernkastel-Kues
Bernkastel-Kues feels like a living fairy tale: almost the entire old town centre consists of tightly packed half-timbered houses from different eras — Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau blend together into a labyrinth of alleys and squares.
High above the town rises the ruin of Burg Landshut, completing the unmistakable panorama.
A large paid parking area along the Moselle riverbank serves as a convenient starting point for exploring the town on foot.
Manderscheid Upper and Lower Castles
Manderscheid in the Volcanic Eifel delights visitors with a “double pack” of castles. The Upper and Lower Castles stand opposite each other above the wild Lieser Gorge — together with a surprisingly alpine extra: the Manderscheid Castle via ferrata.
The secured climbing route (category B/C) leads over ladders, steel cables, and rock ledges directly through the gorge and offers spectacular close-up views of both ruins.
Combined with the panoramic circular trail between the castles and hikes to nearby maars (e.g. Meerfelder Maar), Manderscheid easily makes for an active day trip full of nature and castle romance.
Cochem – Pearl of the Moselle
Cochem, the “Pearl of the Moselle,” is famous for the towering Reichsburg Cochem overlooking a charming old town filled with half-timbered houses and vine-covered facades.
The market square, the baroque town hall, and the maze of narrow alleys can easily be explored on foot before the chairlift to the Pinnerkreuz rewards visitors with panoramic views over the river bend and vineyards.
Moselle boat cruises, cycling paths, and an excursion to the nearby Calmont Via Ferrata complete the perfect day trip.
Experience World at the Nürburgring

Ein Sommertag an den Dauner Maaren
Die Dauner Maare – drei fast kreisrunde Vulkanseen bei Daun – sind ein ideales Sommerziel in der Eifel. Am Schalkenmehrener und Gemündener Maar gibt es Natur‑Strandbäder, Bootsverleih und Liegewiesen, während das Weinfelder Maar als stilles Naturschutzgebiet zum Ufer‑Rundweg einlädt. Ein gut ausgebautes Netz aus Rad‑ und Wanderwegen, darunter der Maare‑Mosel‑Radweg, verbindet die Kraterseen mit Aussichtspunkten wie dem Dronketurm. Picknickplätze, Cafés und Eifel‑Typisches Speiseeis runden den Badetag zwischen tiefblauem Wasser und grünen Vulkanhängen ab.
