Top Koblenz Day Trips

The UNESCO World Heritage Site Upper Middle Rhine Valley, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and historical significance, is a treasure trove of medieval castles, charming towns, and stunning natural beauty. This tour offers a unique opportunity to explore this picturesque region, starting from Koblenz, one of Germany’s oldest cities, and taking you on a journey through history along the legendary Rhine River. As we venture upstream, you’ll discover majestic castles like Stolzenfels Castle (13th century) and Marksburg Castle (10th century), wander through ancient towns such as Bacharach and Rudesheim, and learn about the fascinating stories behind the "Hostile Brothers" Castles (Mouse and Cat), Oberwesel, and Boppard. With scenic ferry crossings and stunning views of the Rhine Valley, this tour unveils a captivating blend of culture, architecture, and nature, making it a perfect exploration of the region's rich history.

So many travel experiences in the Moselle River Valley follow a guided tour or excursion format, leaving few options for travelers who prefer a bit more freedom. This 2-in-1 activity offers a more flexible way to sightsee, offering a prebooked cruise between Cochem and Bruttig, followed by a short 10-minute stroll to the vineyard where a hike and wine tasting take place.

Experience a picture book landscape by bike along the Moselle. In Cochem, bicycles are available in the morning. The route takes you directly (10 km) or over the Senheimer Bridge (23 km) to Beilstein, the “sleeping beauty” of the Moselle. We have put together a picnic basket with delicious delicacies and drinks on the way. Enjoy nature directly on the Moselle. In the early afternoon, the ship will take you back to Cochem with your bike and a lock passage from Beilstein. Here our winemaker awaits you for wine tasting. There are 3 samples of your choice and 1 bottle of wine per person as a present. There is still time to explore Cochem itself. Visit the Reichsburg Cochem, take the cable car to the Pinnerkreuz or stroll through the beautiful shopping town with its many cafés and wine bars.
