The nearest major railway station is Trier, with buses to the Moselle villages. The closest airports are Luxembourg and Frankfurt-Hahn. A car is handy for exploring the side valleys.
The best time to visit is May to October. The vines flower in early summer; in autumn the vineyards change colour and the harvest begins. Cyclists will love the Moselle cycle path along the river.
