With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Rhens, 19 miles away, has to offer. Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, Stolzenfels Castle and Marksburg Castle alone make the drive out worthwhile. Cochem is another popular option. It’s 25 miles away and home to a range of interesting things to do. Reichsburg Cochem, Wild- und Freizeitpark Klotten and Calmont Klettersteig are only the start.
