Rhine Valley Railways Uncorked

Rob first worked with the Pinger Hotel in the early 2000’s, when he organised a rail-themed holiday to Remagen for Wallace Arnold Tours. This tour harks back to that trip, but includes so much more: scenic branch lines through vineyards, a rack railway, a heritage diesel ride, two cable cars, a steamboat along the Loreley Valley and the Vulkan Express under steam, plus vineyard visits with winetasting and we’ve even timed this trip to coincide with Remagen’s village wine festival!

HOTEL

Hotel Pinger, Remagen Conveniently situated for Remagen’s centre and its railway station, yet just a short stroll from the Rhine Promenade, the family-run Hotel Pinger is very much the hub of this small Rhineland town. The hotel boasts a traditional restaurant, bar and coffee shop.
