Drachenfels Railway

Travel on the Drachenfels Cog Railway, that starts at the bottom of Königswinger and takes us up 722 feet to the top of Drachenfels Mountain, and past Schloss Drachenburg - a stunningly beautiful villa that is said to have inspired the castle in Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty'. On arrival at the top of the mountain, you will see the ruins of Burg Drachenfels, a castle that was built in the 12th century, and destroyed 500 years later. The line started running in 1883, using steam powered trains, changing to electric traction in 1953, and continues to run today.

The Majestic Rhine (Rail and Cruise)

2/Aug

L Miller

“Everything from the ship to the crew to the staff was first class. The cruise directors were so friendly and efficient - everything from the food to the service was excellent and the staff were so funny and friendly - I cannot recommend it enough and would certainly travel with great rail journeys again.

Oberammergau and Rhine Cruise

29/Jul

“A superb holiday let down slightly by the "Butlins" approach of the Cruise Directors. The initial Tour Director (Philip Obell) was first class, as a guide he was brilliant but he really came into his own when issues arose with the health of one tour participant. His calm manner and approach resolved some very complicated issues. I cannot praise him highly enough. Sadly the Cruise Directors seemed to think the Cruise Participants needed to be jollied along. Not the approach I and other participants either wanted or needed. There were also ageist and sexist comments. Of a more suspect issue was the decision not to broadcast announcements into cabins, as not everyone was in communal areas. The boat crew were brilliant. One criticism of the boat was the lack of a lift to the very top deck. For persons of limited mobility this was unacceptable in a boat built less than 3 years ago.
