[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I drove down (and up :-) the Mosel from Trier to Koblenz last year and would do it again without a second thought. The Mosel has to be one of the prettiest rivers in the world - or at least the prettiest that I've seen. There are villages ever few kilometres and accommodation isn't a problem. Indeed I stayed at one called 'Alf', purely because it had a strange name - to these ears at least :-).

Koblenz is one of my favorite towns in Germany. It is located where the Mosel and Rhine rivers meet and is very pictoresque in itself. As you follow the Mosel, you pass through a wine-making area which produces some of world's best Riesling and sweet wines and has some very beautiful towns such as Bernkastel. October is harvest month, so there will be a lot of activity and perhaps even various harvest festivals (although I am not sure if they do them in Germany). You can also take in the city of Trier, which, like Koblenz, dates back to Roman times. All this of course requires a car. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
