the Mosel Valley

A wonderful itinerary for anyone wishing to experience the romantic Germany of castles, vineyards, and half-timbered villages is a trip along the Mosel Valley. With a route stretching 180 km (112 miles) from Koblenz to Trier, you can easily travel through the Mosel Valley in a day. However, finding overnight accommodations is no problem if you decide to take your time in this beautiful area.

Traveling through the Mosel Valley is straightforward. If you drive, the highways that twist along the river are primarily the B49 and the B53. If you are renting a car, it is cheaper to rent one from your home country than from within Germany. 

Zell, the home of Schwarze Katz wine that is so well known in the U.S. The charming houses stretch along the river bank, while a church steeple rises into the sky. Buildings with round towers and windows edged with red are capped with black spires.

Cochem, a town whose foremost sight is the large Reichsburg castle. Rising high above the town, the castle's many spires and walls stand out against the green trees. At night the castle is illuminated and sometimes there is a fireworks display. The city's square has pastel-colored or half-timbered buildings and Baroque towers. The nearby countryside lies idyllically in narrow strips of alternating greens and squares of grapevines.

The Mosel Valley offers many other picturesque towns, forests, and wineries to explore and enjoy. Because it is easily traversed and is populated with many villages tucked into the low green hills, the Mosel Valley is a wonderful place to take a serendipitous journey, wherever your fancy wants to go.
