RVB
An idyllicbike&barge journey along theNeckar&RhineRivers
The Rhine River flows from high in the Swiss Alps through five countries and
the majestic Lake Constance, to reach a vast delta in the Netherlands. The
Neckar River joins the Rhine at Manheim and the stretch between Koblenz
on the Rhine and Bad Wimpfen on the Neckar is the focus of this engaging
journey by bike and barge. This compact region is home to numerous
castles, Roman ruins, quaint medieval towns and a rich wine making
tradition as evidenced by the terraced vineyards lining the river banks. With
a relaxed pace of cycling, there is ample time to explore the cobblestone
wine villages and absorb the fascinating history embedded in such towns
as Heidelberg with its historic old town and castle ruin, the Dome of Worms
and the Hornberg Fortress en route to Bad Wimpfen.

MOS
A relaxing cycle along the Saar and Moselle Rivers
Originating in the Vosges Mountains in the French region of Alsace, the
fabled Moselle River flows north along the Luxembourg border and into
Germany for 545km in total before it meets the Rhine River at the cultural
city of Koblenz. The picturesque valley formed by the river is home to a rich
tradition of wine making, Germany's oldest town and a strong Roman and
medieval heritage. The section between Koblenz and Cochem is known
as 'castle country' due to its abundance of castles including the fairytale
Eltz Castle considered to be one of the finest in Germany. Based on a
comfortable barge, this cycle journey along the Moselle and its tributary,
the Saar, offers an ideal balance of activity, history, culture and relaxation.
