Today we include an excursion on the Hunsrückbahn, one of the most interesting and steepest railway lines in Germany. Enjoy the views of idyllic wine villages and steep wine terraces. Opened in 1908, the Hunsrück Railway has five tunnels and two viaducts, climbing 336 metres in altitude over 8.5 kilometres from Boppard to Emmelshausen, making it a masterpiece of engineering even today. Afterwards, we head along the Moselle River to the charming wine town of Cochem, dominated by the ancient and mighty Reichsburg Castle, dramatically perched on a hillside overlooking the town. Enjoy some free time here, before we head back to the hotel.

Our journey today takes us past Lake Laach – the largest crater lake in the Eifel – to Mendig. From Brohl, the narrow-gauge railway Vulkan Express takes you over 400 metres in altitude between the Rhine and the Eifel, venturing over several viaducts and through a 100 metre-long tunnel.
In the heart of the Volcanic Eifel, learn about the art of brewing naturally cloudy beer specialities at the Mendig Volcano Brewery and experience a guided tour of the brewery through glass. Afterwards, we can taste the full flavour of the beers for ourselves. For lunch, we recommend a stop at the brewery (not included).
In the afternoon, we visit the famous Benedictine abbey of Maria Laach. Enjoy the unspoilt and purely preserved landscape during an extensive walk along Lake Laach.

After breakfast, discover the romantic Rhine Valley. Nowhere else in the world will you find such a high density of castles as between Bingen and Koblenz. It is not for nothing that the region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as it uniquely combines an extraordinary wine culture landscape, numerous premium hiking trails, rich cultural treasures, and pretty medieval towns.
We will first travel to Boppard, the pearl of the Rhine. From there, we will take a cruise to St. Goar, in the famous Loreley Valley, where your coach driver will be waiting. Then our journey takes us past the beautiful towns of Oberwesel and Bacharach to Bingen.
