Activities & Experiences
Bernkastel-Kues
The Moselsteig takes you across vineyards, through woodland and to viewpoints over the Moselle. Walk together at your own pace, stopping whenever the valley or the old town catches your eye.
Ettringen
At Ettringer Bellberg, look down into an ancient volcanic crater; later, the trail winds through the rocky maze of Kottenheimer Winfeld. Its striking basalt formations make for an engaging day out together.
Trier
At the Porta Nigra, you can get close to Trier’s Roman past. Afterwards, wander through the city centre together and discover more ancient buildings that still shape the cityscape.
Bernkastel-Kues and the Moselle Valley
The Moselle Cycle Route follows the river, passing vineyards and small wine villages. Take your time along the way, and decide together whether you’re more drawn to the scenery or to a stroll around Bernkastel-Kues.
Worms
Explore the historic heart of Worms on foot, starting around St Peter’s Cathedral. Take in the Romanesque architecture and the surrounding lanes at your leisure, then round off your walk with a relaxing stop at a café.
Our pick for adults
Bernkastel-Kues
At a wine bar in Bernkastel-Kues, sample Moselle wines together and compare notes on the grape varieties and vineyard sites. It’s a lovely way to spend a peaceful afternoon or bring your town stroll to a delicious close.
Rhineland-Palatinate is known for its important wine-growing regions, and that is precisely what makes it an underrated destination for an adults-only holiday. Six of Germany’s thirteen wine-growing regions are located here — Moselle, Palatinate, Rheinhessen, Nahe, Ahr and Middle Rhine. Anyone looking for a child-free hotel where a good Riesling is waiting in the glass in the evening instead of children making noise around the pool will find an abundance of culinary delights among the vineyards and river valleys that is hard to match elsewhere in Germany. The adults-only hotels in Rhineland-Palatinate listed here on Adults Oasis focus on what couples really want: wellness, romance, good food and, above all, peace and quiet.
The region is shaped by its rivers. The Moselle winds through one of Europe’s steepest wine-growing landscapes in tight bends, the Rhine cuts through the Rhenish Slate Mountains, and between them lie the Eifel with its volcanic lakes and the dense Palatinate Forest — one of Germany’s largest continuous woodland areas. The region is never as crowded as the Alps, prices are noticeably lower than in Bavaria or Switzerland, and most adults-only hotels here are smaller, more personal and family-run. That fits the idea of a hideaway for adults: you are not booking an anonymous large resort, but a hotel where the winemaker next door could also be your host.
The wellness hotels in Rhineland-Palatinate make the most of what the region has to offer. In the volcanic Eifel, natural carbonated mineral springs bubble up — Bad Bertrich is Germany’s only Glauber’s salt thermal spa. Some of the adults-only hotels in Rhineland-Palatinate listed here offer wellness facilities. If you prefer things quieter, head to the Palatinate Forest: forest bathing, clean air and spa areas without any pretension. The standard need not hide from the south, while the crowds stay away.
For a romantic weekend, the Middle Rhine Valley is hard to beat. The stretch between Bingen and Koblenz is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — more than forty castles and ruins tower above the river, alongside the Loreley and the famous bends of the Rhine. A sunset boat trip, a boutique hotel in an old winemaker’s house, a glass of wine on a terrace overlooking the water in the evening — it all comes effortlessly here. The Moselle, with its half-timbered towns such as Bernkastel-Kues and Cochem, offers the same experience on a more intimate scale. And the Ahr Valley, known for its red wines, has worked its way back with impressive determination after the 2021 floods — visiting directly supports the region.
Hardly any German region is so closely associated with good food and drink. The gourmet scene in the Palatinate and along the Moselle works closely with the winemakers. The wine region offers numerous opportunities for wine tastings and vineyard tours. Palatinate cuisine is hearty and honest — Saumagen, liver dumplings, accompanied by a dry Riesling or Spätburgunder. If you prefer something more refined, you will find several restaurants around Deidesheim and along the German Wine Route. In late summer and autumn, wine festivals move through the villages; the Dürkheim Sausage Market is considered the largest wine festival in the world.
Active couples can enjoy everything the region has to offer without having to overexert themselves. The Moselle Trail and Rhine Trail are among Germany’s finest long-distance hiking routes and can be tackled in relaxed day stages. Cyclists can follow the Moselle Cycle Route along the water with hardly any climbs. In the volcanic Eifel, paths lead to the maars — circular crater lakes known as the eyes of the Eifel. The Palatinate Forest invites you to explore routes between bizarre sandstone formations and castle ruins, while the Mediterranean-inspired south begins at the German Wine Gate, with almond blossom and fig trees.
Rhineland-Palatinate is centrally located and easy to reach. With Frankfurt and Frankfurt-Hahn airports, ICE stops in Koblenz, Mainz and Kaiserslautern, and the A1, A48 and A61 motorways, you can get here quickly from western Germany, the Saarland and Luxembourg. From Switzerland and Austria, the region is ideal as a stopover on the way to the Rhine or as a destination for a long weekend in its own right. The best time to visit is from May to October: in spring, the almond trees along the Wine Route are in bloom, summer brings warm evenings in the vineyards, and autumn, with the grape harvest, golden vines and mild temperatures, is the loveliest season for a peaceful adults-only holiday. If you prefer things even quieter, come during the week outside the festival dates — then the region is almost entirely yours.
At Adults Oasis, you can find a hand-picked selection of child-free hotels in Rhineland-Palatinate in one place — from adults-only hotels along the Moselle to other properties throughout Rhineland-Palatinate. All with the same promise: no children, no bustle, just indulgence and time together.
