Mosel Valley
Getting around
Plan around Koblenz and Trier for mainline trains, then check the actual transfer or final walk to your accommodation.
Cochem and Trier by train
Use the DB timetable for Cochem (Mosel) or Trier Hbf. The two towns make different bases: castle and river walks in Cochem, Roman sights and indoor options in Trier.
Bernkastel-Kues via Wittlich
Search Wittlich Hbf to your exact stop in Bernkastel-Kues. Forum is on the Kues side. Check the bus for your date and allow time to cross the bridge if you sleep in Bernkastel.
Traben-Trarbach via Bullay
Look up the branch connection from Bullay and the last train both ways. If taking a boat in season, keep a separate return option.
Car and guest ticket
Park below the Reichsburg rather than routing to the castle gate. Ask the accommodation if it issues a VRT or VRM guest ticket and confirm where that specific ticket is valid.
