Bonn - Andernach
We will spend the morning in Bonn, the former capital of Germany. A walk through the city centre will take you past such places as the house where Ludwig van Beethoven was born.

At Koblenz we leave the Rhine and enter the beautiful Moselle valley. We enjoy a day of sailing between the beautiful, steep, vine-covered mountain slopes. Cochem is a typical Moselle town and has a beautiful old inner city with its timbered houses. The romantic ‘Reichsburg’ stands out high above the city. The little Moselle train will be waiting by the ship for a short tour to the city centre(*). The many souvenir shops in the narrow streets of the city centre alternate with cosy ‘Weinstubes’. You will have the afternoon and evening to spend in this location.

The long Rhine promenade will take you to the centre of this tourist town. It is also possible to take the funicular railway to the outlook on the hilltop.
