Moselle Valley

Moselle Valley is a lush green area, famous for its vineyards, quaint historic towns and romantic castles. The slow, meandering river Moselle flows through some of the prettiest scenery in Germany with a more tranquil atmosphere than that of the busy neighbouring Rhine. The Moselle Valley has developed a strong reputation for its tourism industry and offers an excellent choice of excursions in both the surrounding area and further afield in the Rhineland.

Prices from £233 for 4 nights, full board by coach
