Trips to Rhine-Romantic Route

Rhineland-Palatinate is the federal state that borders closely with France. It features mountain ranges such as the Pfälzerwald, Hunsrück, Westerwald, and Eifel. The highest peak is Erbeskopf at 818 meters above sea level, located in the Hunsrück. The landscape is traversed by several rivers, creating large valleys. The Rhine River partially follows the border to France and the German state of Hesse.

The Middle Rhine Valley, between Bingen and Bonn, boasts many castles and fortresses with romantic panoramas, making it an idyllic vacation spot. Upon leaving the highway and traveling down winding roads through the forest towards the Mosel or Rhine rivers, the mild climate contributes to the quality of the Mosel wines. Take the opportunity to learn about the local delicacies and, most importantly, sample them. Today, there is a wide selection of dry and semi-dry Mosel and Rhine wines.

Mosel, along with Ahr, Mittelrhein, Nahe, Rheinhessen, and Pfalz, are the wine districts in the Rhineland-Palatinate region. Enjoy a boat trip along one of the rivers or visit amusement parks and zoos in the region. Trier, an ancient Roman city, is a must-see, and from there, you can continue into Luxembourg and possibly even France.

Enjoy your vacation in one of Germany's most beautiful landscapes. Common expressions like "Mahlzeit" (enjoy your meal) and "Zum Wohl" (cheers) are often heard in the Mosel Valley.
