This convertible route starts in Koblenz and ends in Germany's oldest city, Trier. Along the way, you will discover the most beautiful sights and the diversity of the Moselle region.

Stage 1: Koblenz – Cochem – Beilstein

The convertible tour starts in Koblenz, where the Rhine and Moselle converge. The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, perched high above the Rhine, offers a magnificent view of the region and is a worthwhile stop. In the old town of Koblenz, you can stroll through charming alleys and admire the impressive Deutsches Eck, where the Rhine flows into the Moselle.

Next, you head to Cochem, one of the most beautiful places on the Moselle. The drive along the Moselle road takes you through vineyards that are especially enchanting in spring and autumn. Upon arriving in Cochem, you should visit the Reichsburg, which sits on a hill above the town and offers an impressive view of the Moselle Valley. After a walk through the old town with its colorful half-timbered houses and picturesque alleys, the convertible road trip continues to Beilstein, an idyllic place often referred to as the “Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle.” The old Beilstein castle ruins and the winding streets of this small town exude a special charm.

Stage 2: Beilstein – Bernkastel-Kues – Traben-Trarbach

The drive from Beilstein to Bernkastel-Kues takes you further along the Moselle and through idyllic wine villages. In Bernkastel-Kues, a beautiful old town awaits you with half-timbered houses and a picturesque marketplace.

The wines from the region are also a highlight, and you can taste local specialties in one of the many wine bars.

From Bernkastel-Kues, you continue to Traben-Trarbach, known for its Gründerzeit architecture and the impressive Mont Royal. The drive there offers spectacular views of the Moselle Valley and the steep vineyards. In Traben-Trarbach itself, you can stroll through the old town and walk along the Moselle promenade or visit the Mont Royal fortress ruins, which provide fantastic views over the valley.

Stage 3: Traben-Trarbach – Zell – Pünderich

The next stage of the convertible route takes you from Traben-Trarbach to Zell, one of the best-known towns on the Moselle. Zell is famous not only for the renowned Zeller Schwarze Katz but also for its charming old town and the Mosel winery trail, which offers a great overview of the region's winemaking history. As you walk through the town, you can stroll along the Moselle promenade and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

The journey continues to Pünderich, a small but beautiful place on the Moselle. Pünderich captivates with its tranquil location and the lovely Moselle promenade, which is perfect for a relaxing stop. The winding roads provide magnificent views of the vineyards and the river, and along the way, there are numerous wineries where you can taste regional wines.

Stage 4: Pünderich – Trier

The final stage of the convertible route takes us to Germany's oldest city, Trier. The drive along the Moselle offers spectacular views of the vineyards and the river, and you will be captivated by the beauty of the surroundings. Upon arriving in Trier, you have the opportunity to visit the impressive Roman monuments, including the famous Porta Nigra, the amphitheater, the baths, and the basilica. These sights are witnesses to Trier's long history and make the city an essential destination for culture enthusiasts.
