Welcome to Romantic Germany - Rhineland‑Palatinate!
Due to the flood disaster, the region of Ahrtal is currently affected by severe flooding and its consequences. As a result, many places have been flooded and are not accessible. Hiking and cycling trails are in many cases impassable. Please avoid the respective areas. All other regions and cities are accessible without restrictions and are not affected by the flood. We look forward to your visit and holiday there!
Please check further information here.
Rhineland‑Palatinate is a real treasure trove in the west of Germany, with mystical wild lakes, unique sweeping views across the gently undulating low mountain range, valleys carved deep into the ancient rocks of the Rhenish Massif, sparkling rivers and streams, powerful variegated sandstone towers, extinct volcanoes and gentle grasslands that set the scene for wonderful adventures. The raw ingredients from which our committed wine-makers, farmers and chefs conjure up fine wines and delicious specialities flourish in sun-drenched vineyards and fertile fields. Everyone you meet has a real zest for life. The hospitality of the people of Rhineland‑Palatinate is best enjoyed at the lively wine festivals or numerous welcoming pubs and restaurants serving up delicious typical regional food and outstanding wines.
Whether you are looking for the perfect active outdoor holiday, a family holiday or new discoveries, or you fancy a simple hike or just pampering yourself for a bit, we have put together an exciting combination of trails, sights, places to eat and accommodation to suit your specific requirements.
