·       Munich: 489 km, 306 miles

·       Trier: 124 km, 78 miles

Driving distances Trier to:

·       Frankfurt: 240 km, 150 miles

·       Munich: 520 km, 325 miles

·       Koblenz:124 km, 78 miles

Rail: Though Koblenz and Trier have good rail service, many river towns have infrequent or no service. Rail lines often follow straight lines though tunnels, which cut out some of the most scenic stretches.

Air: Closest major airport is Frankfurt/Main 186 kilometers (116 miles) from Trier and 125 kilometers (76 miles) from Koblenz. However, budget carrier Ryan Air, flys to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, just 19 kilometers (12 miles) from Traben-Trarbach. The airport has frequent bus service to major points along the Mosel.

Bus: Freqent service between villages. Buses will carry bicycles.

Boat: Available between Trier and Koblenz, but the full distance requires about 11 hours with two ship companies. Better bet: take a sightseeing cruise or use your hotel as home base and do an out and back.
