Mosel adventure
What do you want to do today?
How about watching animals and birds of prey up close at Greifvogelpark Saarburg? Or at the Wild- & Freizeitpark Klotten (family & leisure park) with its top attractions? The summer toboggan runs in Saarburg and Riol also guarantee rapid descents. Somewhat quieter, but high up, are the chairlifts in Saarburg and Cochem. Or would you rather be active and high up in the Mosel Adventure Forest Traben-Trarbach and the Leiwenforest climbing park?
Tip for a day trip: the Triolago swimming and leisure lake in Riol with summer toboggan run, putting course, football golf, water ski and wakeboard facilities and much more.
The swimming pools on the Mosel and Saar ensure some cooling refreshment. And if the weather gets too warm, too cold or too wet? Then that’s when some super indoor excursion destinations come into play. And what would a family holiday be without a game of mini golf?.
The romantic Mosel valley with its lovely vineyards and pretty old towns like Cochem is a familiar name to many. We tried out what there is to experience here for active families on a beautiful autumn weekend and were thrilled. Chair lift, the Klotten/Cochem Wildlife and Leisure Park, the former Bundesbank bunker, a boat tour on the Mosel and of course the Reichsburg Cochem - the Mosel region has a lot to offer for young and old.
