Day 2: Saturday: Medieval Feast in the Cochem Castle!

Well rested from a hearty German breakfast, you can explore the beautiful Moselle town of Cochem with its many half-timbered houses, picturesque streets and numerous wine bars. Take the chairlift to Pinnerkreuz and enjoy a beautiful view over the city. At the same time, you will be surrounded by the flair of a lively shopping town.

What would a stay on the Moselle River be without a riverboat cruise? Enjoy the beautiful Moselle valley from the water. Surrounded by vineyards, experience the boat ride as a unique experience. Thus the afternoon will fly by. On to the imperial castle in Cochem! Travel back in time to the days of the knights of the old. Experience the grace of the castle as it was during the Middle Ages on the castle tour. Then you'll be seated with your friends in the cellar of the guild and enjoy the Cochem Castle medieval banquet. For every medieval banquet, of course, there is music and entertainment, which is the "Spectaculi" supplies to make the evening unforgettable.

cheers!

How to maximize your savings and spend less during your Germany vacation?

You can cut down your vacation costs significantly by following these simple rules:

• Instead of eating out in restaurants most of the time your vacation rental apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen. By preparing your breakfast and dinner yourself you can save lots of money, but you can also live a more authentic Germany vacation by trying out local foods and recipes.

• Use public transportation instead of a rental car. We provide you with links and details on how to get around using public transportation. Check out the corresponding Live Like a German travel guide for more details.
