The Rhine and Moselle Valleys are both very popular and successful destinations for our performing groups. These two regions sit next to each other are bound together by the confluence of the two rivers at Koblenz. The Rhineland, with its sweeping vineyards, quaint half-timbered houses and imposing castles, is steeped in legend and history. The Moselle Valley, quieter and less scenically dramatic than its neighbour, is no less interesting; the wine town of Cochem has a lively atmosphere and an imposing castle, while the Roman city of Trier with its mighty city gate, the Porta Nigra, makes an interesting excursion.
