Rhine valley boat tours, public transport and welcome cards

Rheintal Schifffahrten Rhine valley boat tours, public transport and welcome cards

This topic is about the Moselle and Rhine Valley boat tours, welcome cards in the region and the rather complicated public transport tariff system around Frankfurt to Koblenz.

Local public transport in Germany

Local public transport in Germany / Nahverkehr in Deutschland

The Deutsche Bahn website, of course, shows a lot, but still not everything. It does not show local public transport tariffs, and local tickets will also have to be bought from regional transport associations.

Federal railway fares apply if you are traveling to another region.

There is almost always a traffic jam from may to september, because of too many people.

Public transport can help, but it is not cheap. This page is about what public transport around Lake Constance is available. Read more about guest and tourist cards – Tourist and guest cards of Lake Constance

90+ parks and gardens in Germany on the map

Koblenz Buga

In France, there is a special website that lists all available gardens and parks, down to the smallest amateur ones. It can be difficult to assess the level of the garden there. In Germany, there is no such site, and finding gardens and parks is not so easy: gardening farms will come up with a search.

In this topic I collect German gardens, parks and flower fields that I know. Gardens at palaces, if they are important as an independent unit, are also indicated.
