View of Reichsburg Cochem and the town of Cochem

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Imperial Castle Cochem is a castle in the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Cochem on the Moselle. It is their landmark and stands on a highly visible mountain cone 154 m above sea level. NHN (entrance) above the city. As a summit castle she belongs to the type of mountain castles.
The plant, which served as a customs castle in the Middle Ages, was probably built around 1100 or in the first half of the 12th century, according to the results of current castle research. After being destroyed in the 17th century, it was rebuilt by the Berlin merchant and later Secretary of Commerce Louis Fréderic Jacques Ravené in the years 1868-77, according to the taste of the castle romance. Burg Cochem is thus a good example of a building designed in neo-Gothic style during the time of historicism. According to the monument protection law of Rhineland-Palatinate, it is a protected cultural monument and registered in the state's monument list. In addition, the plant is a protected cultural property according to the Hague Convention and marked with the blue-white protection mark.

Market Square, Cochem

Highlight • Historical Site

Cochem Market Square
The numerous well-preserved remnants of the historic city wall with its old fortifications still bear witness to Cochem's vibrant past, such as the Endert Gate with the former gatekeeper's residence, the defensive tower with the Balduin Gate, and the Martin Gate with its battlements and one of the footpaths to the Imperial Castle.
Also eye-catching are the town hall, built in 1739 in the Baroque style, on the cozy market square, the "parlor" with the Martin Fountain, and the old, half-timbered, gabled houses roofed with Moselle slate in the narrow streets of the old town.
The Bock Fountain on the Moselle promenade represents a "Cochemer Stückelchen" (Cochem little piece), an ironic narrative of everyday life for the residents. Opposite is St. Martin's Church with its striking tower, through which you walk on the pedestrian zone. From the Moselle promenade, you reach Bernstrasse through the "Fuchsloch," a passage that was once Cochem's smallest city gate. On the bridge near the tourist information office, there is a mosaic depicting the family tree of the town of Cochem. Experience-Marketplace-Small-Houses
From the market square, old, winding stone steps lead up to the Klosterberg. The Capuchin monastery, built around 1630 and situated on a mountain promontory, served as a monastery until 1802 and is now the town's cultural center.

The side by the main road is great to ride on but not pretty. The other side up to the Klotten ferry is also good, the rest is very rocky and muddy. It's good if you have suspension on your bike!

July 14, 2023,Letzte kleine Moselrunde

One last round on the Moselle by bike. After the many km of the last few days, the desire is a little dampened, I notice. So I locked up my bike in Cochem and walked the many small alleys, up and down stairs, explored 3 different climbs to the castle and finally ate some delicious ice cream before going back. …

September 18, 2025,Mit dem Rad nach Treis-Karden bei 24 Grad

The weather was too warm for hiking, so we hopped on our bikes, of course without an electric motor. We cycled along the left bank of the Moselle to Pommern, which was quite pleasant, but from there to Treis-Karden we followed the federal highway with no demarcation of footpaths and cycle paths, which wasn't particularly nice. We took a break …

Eltz Castle is located a little off the Moselle in the middle of the forest.
The climb is tough, but the higher you go, the more beautiful the view.
Then park the bike at the parking lot and walk about 1.5 km.
The castle is a real eye-catcher. Of course, there was also a lot of audience on the way. …

Yes, that was a simple tour along the Moselle with a stop at Klotten. There we parked our bikes and walked the hiking trail to the waterfall for about 400m (somewhat steep and narrow paths). To visit the collegiate church by bike again after Treis Karden is definitely worthwhile. On the way back, be sure to take the forest path …

It was supposed to rain today (it did 🤫). The Reichsburg castle this morning with clouds—I just had to take a picture 🤷‍♀️. After the first heavy shower, we set off. We stopped at the Mosel Wunder Pommern campsite. The Moselschneckchen (small snails) were sooo delicious 😋. It was good value for money. After the heavy shower, we continued on …
