Where to stay and how to find us

Perfectly located and breathtakingly scenic, Vallendar and the Middle Rhine Valley offer a wealth of activities throughout the year. Enjoy panoramic hikes and cycle routes, take romantic river cruises, visit nearby outdoor swimming pools, or relax at the sauna – there is something for everybody. Numerous historic castles are scattered throughout the area, with 40 punctuating the Rhine Gorge hilltops ready for history lovers to explore. While international world travelers will find that strong transport connections provide a host of possibilities with major European destinations such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Prague easily accessible by road, rail or air.

The fact that the Rhine Valley is a perennial hotspot for tourists, means there are plenty of hotels to suit all budgets and tastes in Koblenz and the surrounding area. Below is a list of hotels which cooperate with WHU:

What to do around Vallendar

1/6
Vallendar
Explore the historic town of Vallendar lying directly on the Rhine, home to an international student population and offering a wealth of gastronomic and sporting activities. Check the yearly VHS (Volkshochschule Vallendar) calendar for exciting local activities and projects.
Koblenz
The third biggest city in the Rhinenland-Palatinate, Koblenz nestles between both the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Whilst not only a scenic city with its riverside location, Koblenz is a vibrant hub of restaurants, bars, museums and shopping opportunities, with a cable car that connects the city to the hilltop fortress of Ehrenbreitstein.
Trips
The surrounding area offers many options for outings and for all interests. Whether it is exploring historic castles such as the medieval Burg Eltz, taking the Traumpfade, hiking trails that runs through the Eifel region, or visiting the legendary racetrack and motor sports complex at the Nürburgring.
City tours
With large bustling cities only a short distance away, it is easy to organize a day or weekend trip. Sample Cologne’s iconic Kölsch beer or chocolate museum, view Frankfurt’s futuristic skyline, or browse high-end luxury shops in Düsseldorf, you’ll find the neighboring cities are metropolitan and welcoming to all visitors!
European Cities
One of the greatest benefits of being located so centrally in Europe is the closeness to so many other beautiful destinations! Take a plane to visit Paris, jump on a train to Amsterdam, or simply drive your car and discover just how far you can get before you find yourself in another country!
Sports and leisure
Well known for its love of the outdoors, Germany offers a wide-range of sporting activities with lots to do in and around Vallendar. Walking and cycle routes run throughout the region, climbing fans can take their sport indoors or outdoors and naturally formed volcanic lakes are open to the public to swim in.
