• Koblenz – Mainz

Special features
For about 100 kilometers the train passes alongside the river Rhine that winds through a picturesque valley. High above the surrounding mountains numerous medieval castles and fortresses are greeting the travellers; enchanting small towns and villages alongside the river are inviting to explore their charm and to enjoy their hospitality.
Highlights are the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein in Koblenz, the castles of Marksburg, Stahleck, Katz and Maus or the Pfalz castle on an island in the river bed. In addition - among many other places worth a visit - cities like Bacharach, St. Goar or Rüdesheim are completing the unique picture of this marvellous landscape.
