Canoe down the Mosel River from the town of Kesten to Bernkastel Kues, passing steeply sloped vineyards and quaint castles as we make our way downstream. These trips are a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the weather, journey through one of the most famous wine regions in Germany. An adventurous spirit is recommended for all participants. Experience is not required, but for those without, be prepared for the possibility of getting wet! After we get off the river, enjoy a couple hours getting something to eat or just walk around taking in all of the history Bernkastel Kues has to offer. The shops and stores in Bernakstel Kues will be open.

These trips are not recommended for small children (unless accompanied by 2 adults). All participants must be at least 5 years of age and able to swim on their own.
