Among the notes...
Trier [From] Trier and take a boat trip on the Mosel back up to Bernkastel and see the vineyards from a different perspective. The round-trip takes about four hours and costs about $25.50. Gebruder Kolb (49-651-26317) operates the boats.

Koblenz In Koblenz, Melanie recommends visiting Festung Ehrenbreitstein, the largest fortress in Germany. It dates from the 11th century, and was rebuilt in the 16th and 19th centuries. Take the aerial tram ($6.40), which operates May to October, for a spectacular view of castles and vineyards, Koblenz, and the Rhine. Spend the night at the Hotel Mercure (49-261-1360). Be sure to ask for a room with a river view, and get reservations at one of the local wine restaurants like Weindorf, or Weinhaus Hubertus (49-261-31177), two of the best known.
