Experience the Romance of the Rhine

Your journey begins in the northern Middle Rhine Valley, a section that captivates with its forested hills and sweeping views. From Bonn, where you might visit the Beethoven House or take a stroll through the cherry blossom avenue, you head south along either the left or right bank of the Rhine. Along the way, you soon encounter towns such as Remagen, known for the Bridge at Remagen, and Neuwied before reaching Koblenz, where the Rhine and Moselle meet at the famous Deutsches Eck. The entire Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enchants with steep vineyards, over 40 castles and palaces, and legendary sites such as the Loreley Rock. Picturesque towns like Boppard, St. Goarshausen, Rüdesheim and Bingen line the riverbanks and are perfect for a stopover. Campsites directly along the river provide unparalleled views of passing ships and historic architecture. Further south you reach Mainz, the gateway to the Rheingau, a city with a rich history as an episcopal seat and centre of early printing.

Sights along the Rhine

Loreley Rock near St. Goarshausen: The most famous rock on the Rhine, the setting of numerous legends. A newly designed viewpoint offers insights into mythology and geology. Pfalzgrafenstein Castle near Kaub: A unique, well-preserved water castle on an island in the middle of the Rhine, formerly a toll station, accessible only by a small ferry. Drachenburg Castle in Königswinter: A fairy-tale 19th-century palace on the Drachenfels in the Siebengebirge. Ideal as either the first or last stop of your journey from Bonn.

The Delights of the Moselle

From Koblenz you can make a detour up the Moselle. Considered Germany’s oldest wine route, the Moselle is a paradise for gourmets and wine lovers. The narrow river loops framed by steep terraced vineyards shape the region’s unmistakable landscape. Visit charming Cochem with its impressive Reichsburg castle or historic Trier, Germany’s oldest city, featuring outstanding Roman monuments such as the Porta Nigra, all part of the UNESCO World Heritage.

Sights along the Moselle

Geierlay Suspension Bridge: At 360 metres long and 100 metres high, this suspension bridge in the Hunsrück offers an exceptional nature experience for adventurers, hikers and photographers. Bernkastel-Kues: This picturesque town attracts visitors with its well-preserved medieval market square, beautiful half-timbered houses, and the famous Spitzhäuschen from 1416. Porta Nigra in Trier: The city’s landmark is the most impressive and best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps, showcasing the region’s rich history.

The Diversity of the Main

Alternatively, or in combination with the Rhine, you may explore the Rhine-Main region. The Main connects it to Franconia and offers a more relaxed, less dramatic yet equally charming landscape compared to the often busy Rhine. Discover the vibrant metropolis of Frankfurt with its unique skyline and historic centre or the charming town of Aschaffenburg featuring Johannisburg Palace. The region is ideal for cycling along the river and offers diverse leisure opportunities.

Sights along the Main

Würzburg Residence: A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Europe’s most significant Baroque palaces, famous for Tiepolo’s world-renowned staircase fresco. Johannisburg Palace in Aschaffenburg: An impressive Renaissance palace built of red sandstone with four identical towers dominating the townscape. Main Cycle Path: One of Germany’s most popular long-distance cycle routes with almost no elevation, perfect for active travellers wishing to explore the scenic region.
