Here, on the balcony of the Reichsburg, you have arguably the best view of the city and the Moselle. A magnificent view awaits you, of course, only if you take the guided tour. It's worth it.

Moselle Promenade, Cochem

Highlight • Trail

In spring, you can admire the cherry blossoms on the banks, as cherry trees have been planted at regular intervals.

Historic Alleys in Cochem

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice narrow streets that invite you to take a stroll. Unfortunately, the shops and restaurants were due to our visit. Corona still closed, everything should be open again by now.

Beilstein

Highlight • Settlement

The city has one of the best preserved historic sites on the Moselle and is therefore also referred to as a miniature Rothenburg or "Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle".

The old town center, with its narrow streets and half-timbered houses,
is absolutely worth seeing.
Above the town lies the ruins of Metternich Castle, with a beautiful view of the Moselle valley.

The town has a jetty where various excursion boats dock.

Moselkrampen Adventure Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice hiking trail along the slope to the Moselle.
On the way very nice views of the Moselle and the village of Beilstein.
You should be surefooted and have a certain amount of head for heights.
As mentioned, it goes along a slope. It is worth it!

September 30, 2024,Mit dem Schiff über die Mosel (Moselurlaub) 🍷🍇☀️🏰🛳
Pictures are random. With a child you can't always track everything correctly 😉. But the Mosel is beautiful and a glass of wine in the evening is always good. 😅🍷

Change of scene - culture on the Moselle. First explored the medieval town of Beilstein with Metternich Castle, then continued on to Cochem with its imperial castle by boat on the Moselle.

Today we went along the Moselle. The river is full after the last few rainy days.
After a tour of Cochem we took the bus to the Moselle ferry that goes to Beilstein. Unfortunately we had to take the short walk through Beilstein in the rain. But it is still a place worth seeing.

At the invitation of my children, I went from Düsseldorf to the Moselle today with the €9 ticket. Here we visited Cochem and then continued by boat to Beilstein. There a shore excursion up to Metternich Castle and through the beautiful old town. Back in Cochem we took the chairlift up to the Pinnerkreuz mountain station. Here you have a …

Started with a light drizzle in Cochem Cond, which turned into heavy rain shortly after the last possible shelter in Valwig. Shortly before, the first few walnuts were collected in Valwig.
At the next bridge then changed the Moselle side and in the Edeka first a coffee to warm up.

From the Cochemer FeWo we walked to the ship and with it to Beilstein. After a stroll through the nice but crowded place, we followed the previously worked out route, which led us along bike paths, small roads and vineyard paths along the Moselle and through small towns with half-timbered houses and vineyards, but also had a few less interesting …

After a short rest and refreshment, we set off for an evening/night hike to reach the goal of 60,000 steps.
We started again at the youth hostel and took the Moselsteig in the direction of Bruttig-Fankel. The Moselsteig was supposed to lead us to the Mosel cycle path, the plan was not to walk directly along the Mosel. In the …
