**Boat trips on the Moselle **
During the summer season there are regular cruises and occasional excursions by boat starting from the city dock "Zurlauben" (bus 2). There are boats for the Moselle villages of Luxembourg and a boat service to Pfalzel, a former residential palace a few miles downstream from Trier. A harbour for smaller pleasure boats is also available at Zurlauben.

**Cable car trip to the Weisshaus **
There is a small cable car at Moselle riverside, which connects the Moselle River with the "Weisshaus" up the hill. Around Weisshaus, which nowadays is a nice cafe and restaurant, there are plenty of walking and jogging trails and also a small wildlife preserve. The ground station of the cable car is at Zurlauben, on the river.
Pfalzel
Summer residence of Roman emperors and of the Trier prince electors; collegiate church, city wall, old houses. (Bus 8, railway, in summer boat service from Zurlauben).
One of the lesser-known gems outside the city of Trier itself is the incorporated village of Pfalzel. As the name, derived from the Latin palatium (palace), suggests, it grew up around a late-Roman residence that later became a Frankish convent.
Open Air museum Roscheid
A real family museum! How did people live, work and learn 150 years ago? Here you find the answers. Lots of objects (machines, tools, furniture, clothes etc.) and old frame-work houses arranged in the surrounding of a beautifully situated old farm estate with garden. This museum presents the folk life of the Trier region in a hands-on way that is especially good for families.
