Discover Neumagen-Dhron

If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Neumagen-Dhron, you can tailor your trip to your own interests: Roman history, winegrowing, hiking trails or a trip on the Moselle. The following sites and topics offer concrete points of reference to help you get your bearings when planning your trip.

Roman heritage at the museum and along the trail

The Noviomagi Museum is located in the Tourist Information building. Across four rooms, it offers an impression of life in antiquity. Films explain the location and dimensions of the Roman fort of Noviomagus Treverorum. Reconstructed scenes include a Roman school based on depictions on Neumagen funerary monuments. The museum thus presents both the fort and examples of ancient artwork, as well as a recreated scene from everyday life.

The Archaeological Trail follows the visible course of the walls of the late antique fort. At its stops, replicas of important reliefs discovered in Neumagen are displayed. The museum and trail thus shed light on different aspects of the Roman past: the museum focuses on life in antiquity and the context of the fort, while the trail follows its visible remains.

Another historic monument is the Neumagen wine ship tomb. It dates from around 220 AD and was a monumental tomb for a wealthy wine merchant from Noviomagum. The connection with wine is part of the tomb’s recorded history and adds to the insights into the town’s Roman past.

Winegrowing and Moselle cuisine

The landscape is also shaped by winegrowing: half of Neumagen-Dhron’s vineyard area lies on steep slopes or terraces with a gradient of more than 30 degrees. These steep and terraced areas make up a significant part of local winegrowing. Those interested in wine will also find various opportunities to enjoy it with regional cuisine.

The seasonal wine taverns serve the vintners’ own wines for a total of four months each year. Opening periods vary by establishment, so check the relevant dates for your travel period. The wine bars serve Moselle cuisine and Moselle wines. When planning, you can therefore distinguish between the seasonal offerings of a wine tavern and those of the wine bars.

Hiking, cycling and experiencing the Moselle

Neumagen-Dhron is the junction of Moselsteig stages 8 and 9. Hiking options from Neumagen-Dhron include the Römersteig, side trails, themed trails, Ferienland trails and moderate hikes. These different names offer a starting point when looking for a hike that matches your interests.
