Romantic Rhine & Moselle feat Rhine in Flames

Day 1

After early pick ups we head south to Dover for our channel crossing to France and onwards to the Rhine Valley. We arrive at our family run hotel in time for a late evening dinner.

Day 2

Today enjoy a day at leisure in the charming resort of Kamp Bornhofen, well known throughout Germany for its famous pilgrimage church and monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The town also offers traditional Rhenish wine taverns and restaurants in a romantic setting. You may like to take the opportunity to board one of the scenic river cruise boats which glide along the Rhine past fabulous sights and beautiful landscapes along the shores of the river (not included), perhaps stopping off to have a look around neighbouring Boppard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a splendid Rhine promenade.

Day 3

After a leisurely breakfast we travel to St Goar, a small quaint town with a lovely atmosphere and medieval heart, situated near the famous Loreley of German legend, before we return to the hotel for an early dinner. This evening we head to BONN IN MAY or OBERWESEL IN SEPTEMBER, for the wonderful Rhine in Flames spectacular, where a procession of ships decorated with coloured lights provide a magnficent sight as they majestically glide along the river in the darkness and a grand musically synchronised firework display magically illuminates the surrounding mountains and night sky. Late return to the hotel.

Day 4

A full day excursion takes us to the traditional German town of Cochem. Located in one of the most romantic parts of the Moselle Valley and situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are few towns in Germany that can match the sheer charm and beauty of Cochem.
