Quotes From the Field:
“The quaint village of Bernkastel, chock full of half-timbered houses, is great fun for shopping. Be sure to try a glass of the local wine, Bernkasteler Doktor, named after a prince who was cured from his illness after drinking it.”Kavya Bisz - ALA Guide
Germany Family - Mosel Magic
From wine villages to medieval wonders: the Mosel Valley wows parents and kids alike
Explore imperial cities, majestic castles, whimsical gardens and ancient Roman artifacts on this week-long family biking tour along the gentle, meandering path of the Mosel River.
Pedal the ancient Roman Road of Zeltingen, home to countless artifacts and beautiful gardens. Explore the remains of a Roman villa in Longuich. Laugh and learn alongside a local guide as you walk the streets of Neumagen, Germany’s oldest wine village, and reward yourself at the end of the day with a wine tasting and introduction to the wines of the Mosel. Hike into the forest to the fairytale Burg Eltz Castle, explore at the doll and oven museum in Neef and climb to the ruins of Metternich Castle, perched above the town of Beilstein.
By night, sip a glass of Kröver Nacktarsch, indulge in a plate of Germany’s famous apple strudel and relax in the comfort of your hand-selected hotel as you take in the magic of the Mosel’s timeless charm.
