Day 1 / Cochem & Nurburgring

Our journey to Cochem begins with a ride through the twists and turns of the beautiful Hunsruck region of Germany.  An exhilarating riding experience takes us down in to the Mosel Valley and along the picturesque river road to our first stop of the day.

The old medieval town of Cochem is a magnet for motorcyclists.  Reichsberg Castle dominates the whole area from its hill-top perch, and overlooks the cafes, bars and restaurants of the river promenade.  After leaving Cochem we weave through the lush forests of the Eifel as we head towards the Nurburgring.

The world famous Nurburgring - Nordschleife is a circuit you can ride with your own bike.  One lap is an amazing 13 miles long with more than 70 bends to challenge your riding skills (you can also watch from one of the many viewing areas).  Other attractions include the brand new 'Ring Racer', the world's fastest roller coaster, and an interactive motor museum.  Don't forget that all-important souvenir t-shirt!

1 lap of the Nordschleife is included in all our guided tour prices.  If you feel like a little more practice then additional laps can be purchased at any time.

Day 2 / Trier

The day's tour starts with a breathtaking ride along the Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and famous for its outstanding natural beauty.  We also pass the Loreley Rock, where according to local legend an enchanting maiden lured navigators to their doom!

Our carefully chosen route continues on the superb quality roads that snake through rural countryside above the Rhine Valley.  We take a well-earned rest at the town of Trarbach, to take on refreshments and admire the scenery, before resuming our ride to Trier.

Trier has many remarkable Roman monuments that are still largely intact.  The Porta Nigra (Black Gate), the Roman Bridge, Constantine's Basilica and the Roman Amphitheatre are all well worth a visit.  Trier is also a modern, thriving city with a large student population.  The market place has a lively atmosphere; its wealth of beautiful architecture makes it one of the most magnificent squares in the whole of Germany.

On our return trip we ride a mixture of different roads including a section of de-restricted autobahn, ideal for those wishing to blow away any cobwebs.

Riding Miles: 180

Day 3 / Rudesheim & Karting Centre

We head west from Boppard towards the 'Gelbachtal', an unspoilt winding valley that's well known by local bikers for its beautiful landscape and bend after bend of sheer riding enjoyment.  We then follow the sweeps and curves of the Rhein-Taunus National Park to Rudesheim, one of Germany's most popular tourist attractions.

Rudesheim sits on the banks of the Rhine and is famous for the vineyards that cling to steep slopes surrounding the town.  The Asbach Brandy distillery is a firm favourite with visitors.  The 'Drosselgasse', a narrow lane that boasts dozens of traditional German shops and restaurants, is also a popular draw.  Outside the town centre is the 'Niederwald Monument' from where you'll have a panoramic view of the Rhine below.

Towards the end of the day we stop off at the Conquest Karting Centre.  This indoor track is ideal for any budding Michael Schumacher and can prove to be a demanding and exciting experience (see if you can beat the track record).

The first 10-minute session is included in our tour price, if you have any energy left, additional sessions can be purchased at any time.
