Drachenfels Railway

Travel on the Drachenfels Cog Railway, that starts at the bottom of Königswinger and takes us up 722 feet to the top of Drachenfels Mountain, and past Schloss Drachenburg - a stunningly beautiful villa that is said to have inspired the castle in Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty'. On arrival at the top of the mountain, you will see the ruins of Burg Drachenfels, a castle that was built in the 12th century, and destroyed 500 years later. The line started running in 1883, using steam powered trains, changing to electric traction in 1953, and continues to run today.

The Romantic Rhine

2/Jul

“We've been with GRJ now for many years. Last year with GRJ we enjoyed The Douro, this year we did The Rhine. It was absolutely brilliant, a great atmosphere on board with good organisational skills displayed by Lucy, the Cruise Director, and Andrew, the Tour Manager. The ship, officers and crew, were excellent. We had a problem at Eurostar Security in Paris coming home but Stephen, the homeward bound Tour Manager, was first class in helping to overcome the matter. Eurostar Security lost a suitcase off the conveyor belt and initially for 10 minutes did not show must interest then Stephen stepped in and as a result it was soon found, well done Stephen.

Jan Jim Odell

“Fantastic tour, totally organized. Bob our tour manager produced information sheets before we went with almost every minute of the day accounted for even platform numbers for each train. Lucy our rep on board was exceptional above and beyond her job. Having been on many big cruise ships Arnadeus Star compared well with Cunard, crew were amazing. We will definitely be using GRJ again in the near future. Thanks a lot, one of the best.. Jim and Jan Odell
