Rally Mosel rolling meet 2020. (1 Viewer)

[Kev and Ju]

Talking of trains.................as we're in the area for 5 days we'd like to visit Cochem and Koblenz. Firstly, as Koblenz is 50 miles away, is it worth seeing and secondly is there a rail / bus service that might get us there?

Koblenz is definitely worth a day out, check out the steak house Los Gauchos in the square Brunnen Am Plan.
Or opposite a great Italian L’Osteria (Fantastic!!)

Quick question. We are looking to be with you at Reil from 20th - 24th Sept. Do we have to book or can we just rock up?

Just rock up here in Reil. No pre booking allowed.

Just a quick bit of info for those wishing to visit Reil but wish to travel around the area. there is a local rail station in Reil about a 10 minute walk away from the Stellplatz. There is also a landing stage 5 minute walk away for the river bus service travelling both up and down river.

Snowbird Is it busy on the aire, have you any indication on how busy the aires are, as I might be spending a bit more time in Germany, as I think my trip to croatia is slowly going up the spout

You can view quite a few stellplatze on these cams , there is usually plenty of space when you look at the number on the Mosel https://www.mosel-webcams.de/ some can handle 800+ !

It is busy as the Germans seem to be staying in there home country this year. Having said that, vans are coming and going all the time. Midweek is the best time to get a riverside pitch.

We're in Germany social distancing doesn't seem to arrived yet, Janie keeps telling them, and they look at us with our masks on, probably thinking you only need to wear them in shops.
Yesterday was the only time we have paid to park since leaving home in Spain, the stelplatz money collection chap, came round taking reg numbers, you then had a post box with envelopes and a form to fill in and put the right money in, and post in the box.
It must be counted in a controlled environment. Bob.

 

[JockandRita]

Janie keeps telling them,

Why does that not surprise me one bit Bob?

Stay safe you two.

Jock.

Yes

Yes

From recollection of our stay a few years ago there was generally only hookup for the front row, facing the river.
I’m sure Snowbird who is on site now can elaborate

That’s possibly true because I remember driving over cables lying across the gravel road

There is, but you sometimes need a very long cable to reach it.
Not too busy at the moment but changes daily.
Seems to be much busier at the weekend.

 

[Snowbird]

Sorry about the late reply, an old travelling friend turned up from Chechnya who I have not seen in over 15 years and we had a little catching up to do. There is 16 amp hookup at 2 Euros per day. Some pitches are some distance from the hookup post, but I do have an extension if anyone is short and they wish to borrow it.

Anyone done Berlin from Reil ? I fancy taking the wife in M'home after spending a few days with you lot. I served there during the cold war and have never been back since. Looks like free overnight parking next to bus station.

If you are going to Berlin from Reil its worth having a day in Leipzig , just so wife can have some retail therapy

We went to a wedding in Poland last summer our route took us just south of Berlin, man o man I have never seen queues of trucks like it. Mile after mile of any vehicle over 3.5ton all lined up as they can’t use the second lane. We scooted by in the second lane but it was KIN narrow at times, particularly through any sections of road works, and there were many of those. We returned via Dresden as we were advised it’s less busy, which it was but not by much. We tired of the motorway and meandered our way to Reil where we stayed for a week.

 

[Petehvan]

If you go to Berlin in the van there is a parking spot within walking distance of the centre, if you don’t want the walk there is a tram spot just outside. It is more like a compound than a site but it is very secure and you have water electricity and toilet and shower.we just googled somewhere to stay with a camper van in Berlin.

That's Polish weddings for you. Every man and his dog wants to attend.

What route are people taking ftom Calais as we can’t drive through Belgium and Luxembourg

I also thought this but as others have said this restriction hardly applies on your way out and if your only travelling through. I intend to spend one day in Belgium and one in Luxembourg then cross into Germany.

 

[Landy Andy]

You can ”transition” Them and Achen, in Germany is only 3.5 hrs. So easily doable in a day.
