Top Koblenz Day Trips

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.
