From the Wine Road to the Moselle

Rhineland-Palatinate offers a variety for convertible tours that is unmatched. Vineyards, river valleys, hilly landscapes, and panoramic roads come together here to create a perfect experience for all who enjoy driving with the top down. Particularly exciting: The individual routes can be wonderfully combined into a great convertible adventure – ideal for long weekends, round trips, or relaxed convertible journeys through the region.

Here, I present to you five of the most beautiful tours that can be connected and will showcase the diversity of Rhineland-Palatinate – from the sunny German Wine Route to the heights of the Hunsrück and the famous loops of the Moselle.

1. The German Wine Route – Open through Vines and Half-Timbered Towns

The starting point for many convertible tours in Rhineland-Palatinate is the famous German Wine Route. Stretching about 85 kilometers between Bockenheim and Schweigen-Rechtenbach, this convertible route travels through one of the most traditional wine-growing regions in Germany. Vines as far as the eye can see, rustic winegrower villages, Mediterranean flair, and historic old towns like Neustadt an der Weinstraße or Bad Dürkheim make the route particularly appealing.

Perfect for a relaxed start to a multi-day convertible tour, ideal for connoisseurs and wine fans. The route can be driven leisurely, with wineries, garden restaurants, and farm shops inviting stops everywhere.

2. Palatinate Forest Panorama Route – Curves, Views & Nature

Directly adjacent to the Wine Route begins the Palatinate Forest – the largest contiguous forest area in Germany. Here runs a panoramic route that is excellent as a second leg. Narrow roads meander over the heights of the low mountain range, passing castle ruins, viewpoints, and tranquil valleys.

A highlight for all who want to combine curves and nature enjoyment while driving a convertible. The section around the Trifels castle ruin or the routes through the Dahn Rockland, where striking sandstone formations shape the landscape, is particularly beautiful.

3. Hunsrück Heights Road – Vastness, Curves & Low Traffic

The Hunsrück Heights Road is a real insider tip for convertible tours. The route runs from Koblenz to Saarburg over approximately 157 kilometers across the heights of the Hunsrück. Compared to other routes, there's less traffic here, ensuring a relaxed, open driving experience.

The convertible route leads through varied landscapes, past small villages, forests, and meadows. It's ideal for continuing the route south or west – for example, to the Moselle Valley or towards Saar.

4. Moselle Valley – Panoramas, Loops & Wine Towns

A must for any convertible tour through Rhineland-Palatinate is the Moselle Valley. Between Koblenz and Trier, the road follows the winding river course, passing vineyards, medieval towns, and spectacular viewpoints. Particularly inviting is the section between Cochem, Traben-Trarbach, and Bernkastel-Kues – here curves, tunnels, and wide views alternate perfectly.

The route is ideal as a connection between the heights of the Hunsrück and the picturesque Moselle banks. Numerous wine festivals, garden restaurants, and winemaker farms invite culinary breaks nearby.

5. Eifel Maars Round Trip – Volcanic Landscape & Pure Nature

As a final leg or independent tour, the Eifel Maars Round Trip offers itself. The route runs through the Volcanic Eifel, known for its crater lakes – the so-called Maars – as well as for narrow roads through a varied landscape.

Driving open through the Eifel means: wide views, quiet forests, winding sections, and exciting detours to viewpoints or natural wonders. Particularly beautiful is the stretch around Daun, Manderscheid, or the Nürburgring, where motorsport history collides with natural idyll.

Conclusion: Combinable Dream Routes for Your Convertible Journey

The beauty of Rhineland-Palatinate is the proximity of the individual regions to each other. You can combine the presented tours according to your mood, weather, and time – whether as a weekend trip, multi-day convertible road trip, or an extensive convertible journey through the entire country.
