Germany: Route around the Castles of the Rhine and the Moselle Valleys, tailor-made by car

Get ready to embark upon one of the most romantic tours in northwest Germany. The Rhine Valley is a truly unique area, surrounded by vineyard-swathed hillsides and dotted with medieval villages and legendary castles. Many poets and painters found inspiration here thanks to its extraordinary charm and stunning landscapes such as Rüdesheim, where Germany's best Rieslings are found. The story of Martin Luther was linked to Worms, a town on the Rhine with over 6,000 years of history and which witnessed how the actions of this seminal figure changed the course of history. Luther would ultimately take refuge at the Castle of Wartburg, one of the treasures that you'll see on this enthralling tour. Driving through the outstanding natural environments of this German region, you'll arrive in Koblenz, where the Rhine and the Moselle come together and give life to a magical environment. If you follow the course of the Moselle, also nestled among hills covered by vineyards home to ancient wineries, you'll reach Cochem, Traben-Trarbach and Brodenbach, where you'll feel like a true medieval knight at its castle. And when it comes to anecdotes, there are the two neighbouring castles in Kamp Bornhofen separated by a wall, yet once owned by two enemy brothers. Meanwhile, Heidelberg Castle - which dates from the early 19th century - is considered the best example of German Romanticism. The Castles of the Rhine and Moselle Valley tour delves into the German soul with a visit to Trier, the oldest city in the country. It ends with a visit to the futuristic financial metropolis of Frankfurt, the city of skyscrapers and the Brothers Grimm. A perfect blend of nature, history and modernity that will make your trip truly perfect.
