Bernkastel-Kues Transportation

Take the old Mercedes to drive up to castle Landshut.
Every hour on the hour this lovely vintage-bus will leave at the ship-station and take you within 35 minutes to the castle.
5 Euros is the tour up and down
3,50 Euros for one way up
2,50 Euro for one way down

And of course you may drive up, spend some time in the castle and drive down with a later bus.

Obviously there was a train-station once in Bernkastel-Kues, but now it ends in Traben-Trarbach and the closest station you may arrive by train is Wittlich in a distance of 12km.
Close to St.Michael-church a restaurant is named after the old Mosel train station, as you may see on my picture.

Be careful, when calculating your drivingtime. The Mosel is winding through the valley and the coast-road is really scenic, but driving there needs a lot more time than usually.
Calculate several hours from Koblenz, especially when you like to stop at the most interesting places like Traben-Trarbach, Cochem, Kroev...
I normally need a full day from Koblenz to Bernkastel-Kues.

In the centre of Berncastel-Kues you will find a big parking directely at the Mosel and the landing-stage of the cruise-ships. The parking-meters have to be fed between 09.00 a.m. and 07.00 p.m. DAILY and at night at most places you will be allowed to spend the night in your motorhome.

Frankfurt / Hahn is pretty close to Bernkastel-Kues, maybe 30km ( BUT 150 Km off Frankfurt am Main)
That way the whole Mosel-valley even has it's own airport with cheap airlines like Ryanair landing.
On my picture : The Concorde, that you may visit inside the SINSHEIM technical museum ( about 150km off Berncastel) togeather with lots of more aircrafts, vintage cars, trains etc. - have a look on my Sinsheim-page for more infos and pics !!

At the big parking next to the bridge, there is also a stop for the boats. They offer lots of boat trips, all day long. As the Mosel is a river which makes a lot of turns and because of the locks, I like little boat trips there,

real easy to get there.....I forgotten to tell you: Bike rides are a very fine way to take you from A to B. Bikes can be rented everywhere or bring your own which can be transported by Train, when enough paddling is done :-)

there are Trunkroads and Autobahn, romantic passages and by ship as well as by Train. just 100km from Koblenz, or 90km from Trier....from Cologne ca 160km depense which route you prefer. in my opinion you won't get a better drive then through the Hunsrueck Hoehenstrasse, from KOBLENZ to HERMESKEIL one of the most scenic, romantic and friendliest part of Germany.but I said that already for this region....Koblenz, Andernach and now the Mosel, but I can't help telling you: it is a special region. maybe by history one understands this fondness I have: occupied by the Romans and then by the Franconians..later by the French army...well, something must have rubbed off. the lightness and love for Life is a real feature of the Regions around the Rhine and Moselle
