Moselle Valley

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