We visit the old town of Ahrweiler which still retains its medieval gates and fortifications. The pedestrian streets, surrounded by half-timbered houses, are easy to explore on foot. We continue to Mayschoss by train, famous for producing some of the finest red wines in Germany. You will have the chance to taste the dark red wine for yourself on our visit to a local wine cellar, where a cold platter lunch will be served. Travelling back up the Ahr by coach, we will stop briefly at romantic Altenahr, whose centre is dominated by the scattered ruins of the 12C castle.

Happy Christmas!
Morning included guided historical walk of Remagen with a mug of mulled wine. The small town of Remagen is famous for its bridge that fell into American hands in 1945 providing them with a passage across the Rhine, but then only days later the bridge collapsed under the sheer weight of their armoured vehicles. Today stands a Peace Museum within the remaining towers. Enjoy Christmas lunch.
Tonight, we enjoy a Christmas party with live band and festive buffet.
Included Highlights
