Pursue a Relaxing Walking Tour in the Rhine Valley

This tour offers a combination of walking opportunities and relaxing scenic tours. A most alluring walking trail on our tour is the "Red Wine Walking Trail". As the name suggests, this journey will take you through one of Germany's prominent red wine making regions. You will begin with a relaxing rail journey through the scenic landscapes of the Ahr Valley and an opportunity to view the ruins of Altenahr's 13th century castle. You can then choose to follow the "Red Wine Walking Trail" towards Mayschoss and Rech. After enjoying the tantalising views of the wine-making region, you may wish to satiate your taste buds with an evening of wine tasting at Germany's oldest vintners' cooperative.
