When the last of the leaves have fallen from the trees, Jack Frost has left his mark on the grass in the morning, the rugged cliffs hang barren above the abyss and nature is wreathed in silence, then winter has arrived in Rhineland‑Palatinate. Come with us to discover nature at her most raw and beautiful. Or would you rather discover culture in the little streets of the historic old towns, enjoy a delicious drop of wine in a cosy bar or simply relax in the spa waters?
Whatever type you are, you have found the perfect starting point for the cold time of year. So welcome to your winter holiday in Rhineland‑Palatinate!

On a frosty winter day, there is nothing nicer than seeking a little bit of cosiness and warmth. And whether you would rather warm up on the outside with a brine bath and sauna or on the inside with some nice hot food and a warming tipple, we have lots of ways of keeping the cold out!
Do you love to be out and about with friends and are already longing to relive the splendour of days gone by?
Then you are a dreamer who likes to be thrown back to your childhood with all your senses: you feel the warmth of the fire, see the golden glow of the market lights, smell the scents of the stalls, taste the warm spices on your tongue and feel that you are in exactly the right place.

Then you are a seeker. After a gentle walk through the tranquil countryside, you can enjoy one of our restful spas, saunas and brine pools, and experience the ultimate in relaxation.
