The Mosel Once More 19 Mai 2017 0 Bernkastel was a great place to visit. It has lots of interesting buildings and narrow cobbled pedestrianised streets in the centre.
Bernkastel 18 Mai 2017 0 Drove from Mainz in to the town on the banks of the Mosel – great place to visit!
In to the City 17 Mai 2017 0 Mainz is the capital city of Rheinland-Pfalz, while Wiesbaden is the capital city of Hessen. The two are almost right next to each other – with my accommodation for the next 2 nights being in Mainz-Kastell: A district of Wiesbaden just over the river from Mainz City Centre.
Landeshauptstadt Mainz 16 Mai 2017 0 The fact that I am so close in to Mainz City Centre means I’ve driven further in to Mainz than I have ever done to London!
Loreley Viewpoint 16 Mai 2017 0 Drove up to the Loreley viewpoint. Many twists and turns in the road but I made it!
Taking the Ferry across the Rhine 16 Mai 2017 0 There are 5 ferry crossings on the stretch of the Rhine between Koblenz and Rüdesheim. This short clip shows me taking the crossing to Kaub.
Sunshine in das Rheinland 16 Mai 2017 0 Taking the scenic route, not going on the Autobahn, would take longer – but more rewarding in terms of what I would be able to see from the car as the route followed the river valley the entire way.
Cochem 15 Mai 2017 0 Spent some time in Cochem, on the river Mosel. Had lunch, a walk, and went up to the castle.
Festung Ehrenbreitstein 15 Mai 2017 0 I took the cable car up to the fortress – Festung Ehrenbreitstein.
Views from the Cable Car 15 Mai 2017 0 I used the Seilbahn (Cable Car) to get across from the centre of Koblenz to the fortress.
Deutsche Eck, Koblenz 15 Mai 2017 0 The Deutsche Eck is the point at which the Rhine meets the Mosel.
First Time on the German Autobahn 14 Mai 2017 0 It took a while before it finally clicked that I was on the Autobahn, in an unrestricted section. What on earth was I doing trundling along at 120km/h – the speed limit of the Dutch A76!? I put my foot down and slowly increased the speed.
