Stage 1: Simmern – Idar-Oberstein – Morbach – Bernkastel-Kues

The convertible tour starts in Simmern, a charming little town in the heart of the Hunsrück. After a short walk through the historic old town and a visit to Simmern Castle, the first stage begins.

On winding country roads, you drive to Idar-Oberstein, the gemstone metropolis of Germany. Here, the spectacular rock church looms over the town, directly carved into the rock. A visit to the numerous gemstone workshops or the German Gemstone Museum is worthwhile for anyone interested in jewelry and minerals.

From here, a beautifully scenic convertible route leads to Morbach, located on the edge of the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park. The forested surrounding area makes this region particularly attractive. A brief detour to the Hunsrückhaus, which offers fascinating insights into nature, is recommended.

Next, you head into the stunning Moselle Valley, arriving in Bernkastel-Kues. The town is among the most beautiful along the Moselle: narrow streets, half-timbered houses, and a vibrant old town invite you to linger. A must-visit is the Landshut Castle, which offers a fantastic view of the Moselle Valley. In the evening, a wine tasting in one of the traditional wine taverns is worthwhile – after all, the Moselle Riesling is world-renowned.

Stage 2: Bernkastel-Kues – Kastellaun – Boppard

After a cozy breakfast in Bernkastel-Kues, you set out on one of the most beautiful routes of the tour. The convertible route takes you through the Moselle Valley, past steep vineyards and romantic wine villages.

Soon you reach Kastellaun, a town with medieval flair. Above the historic old town stands the impressive Kastellaun Castle, which is a perfect stop for a little exploration. Particularly convertible drivers will enjoy the winding roads through the surrounding area.

Now comes a real highlight for all who love driving fun: the ride through the Baybach Valley. This road is among the most beautiful and winding convertible routes in the Hunsrück. The narrow road winds through dense forests along a babbling brook – every curve here becomes an experience.

The second stage ends in Boppard on the Rhine. Here, you can stroll along the beautiful Rhine promenade or take the Vierseenblick chairlift to an observation point that offers a spectacular view of the Rhine Valley. In the evening, cozy restaurants along the shore invite you to enjoy regional specialties.

Stage 3: Boppard – Bacharach – Simmern

From Boppard, you drive along an impressive convertible route by the Rhine to Bacharach, one of the most romantic towns in the Middle Rhine Valley. The historic old town with its lovingly restored half-timbered houses and the impressive Stahleck Castle make this place a true highlight.

After a short break, the route leads back through the heart of the Hunsrück to Simmern. The roads are characterized by dense forests and open high plateaus – a perfect mix for a relaxed yet exciting convertible drive.
