School & College Tours to Moselle
The Moselle Valley is beautiful, gentle and more tranquil than the Rhine. It flows through some of the prettiest scenery in Germany which is dotted with historic castles and ancient vineyards. The Moselle makes for a great excursion base with convenient access to the many attractions of this area, both traditional and modern.
Traben-Trarbach has great charm and character with half-timbered houses, winding streets, old churches and fortifications. Marked walking paths around the town will take you past steeply terraced vineyards and Roman ruins and you will find a wide selection of shops and cafés.
