If you buy bread rolls instead of buns, hear "Schnääges" instead of sweets and are offered Noischlubbschlabben - i.e. slippers for slipping in (noischlubbe), then you are definitely in Rhineland-Palatinate! This dancelike dialect conveys a feeling of cheerfulness and lightheartedness that can be found everywhere in the region. Just like in our hotels - here you can feel right at home.
From Kaiserslautern via Trier and Mainz to Koblenz, you will find comfortable single and twin rooms in a central location, with modern design and an extensive Green Breakfast offer. After a restful night, city tours, wine tastings and hikes through mysterious forests and romantic river valleys await you.
Rhineland-Palatinate is the epitome of romantic Germany. The mysticism of the Rhine Valley with its windings, rocks and the Loreley offers every hiker fantastic views into the distance. The Moselle Valley with its golden vineyards in the morning mist, old castles, palaces and traditional towns also captivates visitors from all over the world. From Trier downwards, the Moselle separates the two low mountain ranges Eifel (in the northwest) and Hunsrück (in the southeast).
Cities like Trier, Speyer, Mainz are embedded in an idyllic and varied natural landscape. Here you can visit imperial cathedrals, Roman buildings, museums and wine bars. Whether Koblenz or Ludwigshafen - a trip is worthwhile all year round. And remember your loyal companions: Pets are also very welcome in our hotels. In addition to these top cities, the region also has numerous places for rest and wellness. In Bernkastel-Kues, not only Riesling is grown, but health tourism is also a top priority here: The town is a recognized health resort. Treat yourself to an afternoon in the spa. Schalkenmehren is also a state-recognized resort where you can also rent boats at the lake and natural swimming pool Schalkenmehrener Maar.
Wine lovers will find six wine-growing regions in Rhineland-Palatinate: Palatinate, Rheinhessen, Nahe, Ahr, Moselle and Middle Rhine. Here pink almond trees blossom and figs, lemons and pink and white oleander grow... The mild climate and the extraordinary cultural landscape make the second largest wine-growing region in Germany almost a Garden of Eden. Let yourself be pampered by the scents and aromas with a glass of wine directly from the winemaker!
In Traben-Trarbach, located on one of the many Moselle loops, numerous wine cellars testify to the former wine trade. Wine lovers can enjoy guided tours of the cellars and, of course, wine tastings in the charming Art Nouveau town. Southeast of Kaiserslautern lies Deidesheim, which is known for its organic wines, but also for its organic fruit and vegetable farms. The wide variety of wines, sparkling wines, distillates and liqueurs is worth a detour!
Anyone traveling to the Rhineland in autumn should definitely visit a wine festival! The German Wine Route is lined with historic wineries and small wine-growing villages. Every year, people meet at these special festivals to celebrate the local wine and bring the Rhenish culture to life.
Rhineland-Palatinate is more than just romantic castles, cheerful people and good wines. Inventions made here shape our lives to this day. Johannes Gutenberg invented printing in Mainz in 1450. Nicolaus August Otto, the inventor of the internal combustion engine, also comes from the Rhineland. His four-stroke engine still powers cars, motorcycles and many other machines today.
The folding rule, the gyro compass, the Geiger counter and the glass ceramic cooktop were also invented here. And not to forget: in 2020, the Mainz-based company BioNTech presented the first approved vaccine against Covid-19.
The Rhine Palatinate has also made a name for itself as a hiking and cycling region. Charming landscapes, untouched forests and breathtaking views await you, for example, on the Palatinate Wine Trail. It leads from Bockenheim to Schweigen-Rechtenbach, is 170 kilometers long and offers 12,000 meters in altitude. This makes it the longest and most demanding long-distance hiking trail in the Palatinate.
The Palatinate Forest Trail from Kaiserslautern to Berwartstein Castle is also a popular hiking trail at 144 kilometers. Idyllic forest paths and magnificent views from the Rhine plain to the Black Forest make this tour so appealing. A true hiking dream!
As you can see, Rhineland-Palatinate is the land of wine, the sweet life, the countryside, the picturesque villages and tourism. We at the B&B HOTELS warmly welcome you.
