Touring along Germany’s Mosel river and valley, one vineyard after another

Admire small villages along the Mosel River while on the train from Koblenz.

Before heading off to the Mosel (or Moselle) Valley in Germany for a wine tour, I had read that it was one of the most picturesque wine regions in the world. The Ruwer River flows into the Mosel which then snakes its way down to Koblenz on the Rhine.

I did a little more research and realised that I needed to travel by train directly from Frankfurt Airport to Koblenz, and then take a regional train up to the middle Mosel. While the Mosel vineyards extend up to the historic town of Trier, it was the star-studded stretch from Zeltingen to Bernkastel that was to be my base.
