Campingplatz am Mühlenteich

Campingplatz am Mühlenteich is in prime position for exploring the Rhine valley, or for using it as base to dive into the activities and festivals of the region in all seasons. Mines and museum are within day trip distance if you want to check out the history and the industrial heritage of the region: try the Schiefergrube Herrenberg slate quarry or the Schmittenstollen, the only mercury mine in western Europe, both just under an hour away, and the aviation, steam engine and fire brigade museum in Hermeskeil, about an hour and 10 minutes' drive from the site. Other options include sightseeing days in the region's historic cities such as Herrstein, Koblenz, Boppard, Oberwesel, St. Goar, Bingen, Simmern, Kastellaun, Kirn, Trier and Mainz; tripping around the castles along the Rhine and Moselle rivers; and taking the educational forest and nature trails in Emmelshausen and Tiefenbach. If you're up for some scenic cycling, access the Schinderhannes cycle route next to the site, for a 38-kilometre run along the area's old railway line.
