During the journey to Andernach, the foothills of the mighty Siebengebirge rise up on the horizon.
Wednesday:
Andernach - Cochem - Alken
We left before breakfast and after rounding the Deutsche Eck we see the Moselle valley. After the hustle and bustle on the Rhine, you will be overwhelmed by a serene tranquillity in the beautiful Moselle valley. The steep vineyard-covered slopes on both sides of the river make for an unforgettable day. In Cochem you have a beautiful view of the river valley from the high Reichsburg. Cochem is a tourist resort par excellence and there is plenty to do in the busy centre. At the beginning of the evening we sail to the lovely town of Alken.

As soon as we have left the Moselle through the lock at Koblenz, we moor. In the afternoon you can join an excursion (*) or explore the city centre on your own. Here you will find cosy squares and alleys. In addition to beautiful buildings and monuments, there are also many wineries with terraces and modern shopping streets. During dinner we continue our journey to Linz where we will spend the night.
