The Rhine vacation region

In the district of Mayen-Koblenz

Myths and legends have always surrounded the Rhine. Even the Romans used the river as an important connecting axis between north and south. As a transportation route, it has always played a key role in history.

Later, with travelers of English origin discovering all the beauty of the Rhine, the Rhine Romanticism was born. Pristine and unspoiled landscapes, medieval castles and palaces and enchanting villages inspired people then as they do today.

A trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Upper Middle Rhine Valley" offers everything your heart desires and many places along the Rhine invite you to linger and enjoy the beautiful half-timbered houses, history, good food and, of course, wine.

Stroll through the streets of Rhens and visit the Königsstuhl, which towers high above the town and offers a wonderful view of the Rhine Valley. Where the German king was once elected, you can still feel the significance of this place today.

In Vallendar or Weißenthurm, there are many hidden corners waiting to be discovered with their enchanting details. Or visit the "baker's boy town" of Andernach, snack on fruit and vegetables in the public gardens and be impressed by the world's highest cold water geyser.

You will find princely elegance and cultural landscapes steeped in history in the Sayn Cultural Park.

Hike through unspoiled floodplain landscapes and along the famous Limes Wall. Gently curving paths alternate with challenging passages. Richly blossoming trees, dense forests and the fantastic view of the Rhine Valley accompany you on your way.

With heart and tradition

A region that is home to the best wines also knows how to pamper the palate with culinary delights. Thanks to the Rhine as a trade route, various spices were a formative influence early on and still provide variety in the kitchen today. Closely interwoven with tradition and at the same time open to new inspirations - cuisine on the Rhine has many facets.
