With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Cochem, 16 miles away, has to offer. Reichsburg Cochem, Wild- und Freizeitpark Klotten and Calmont Klettersteig alone make the drive out worthwhile. Don’t miss Idar-Oberstein either! Just 20 miles away, German Gemstone Museum, Crag Church and Bosselstein Castle are non-negotiable stops here.
