Cochem on the
Moselle
Cochem is the perfect base for getting to know different
areas, towns and people. Idyllic wine-growing villages
and well-know wine centres are nearby. The Roman
imperial city of Trier is packed with fascinating
sights, and stands at the gateway to Luxembourg with its
rich store of art treasures. And not far away is Koblenz,
where the Mosel meets the Rhine.
Activityies
in Cochem
The natural beauty of the Moselle countryside is
particularly appreciated by visitors with the leisure to
explore its byways. The hills around Cochem offer a host
of attractive destinations for walkers, and cycling is
also popular, with near-level cycle paths leading along
the river. Return to your accommodation by cyclists´
shuttle bus, train or boat. |

Up and Down
the Moselle
The Moselle is a curvaceous beauty. And it almost seems
as though it knows that it attract everyone's looks.
Majestic, the way it lies there, breathtaking how the
silvery-blue, meandering band winds its way upstream.
Yes, the Moselle is an impressive sight. And, it isn't
stingy with attractions, it shows its many different
sides willingly. At times the light of the summer sun
paints pearls on its “face”, at other times foggy mists
give it a mysterious look, and sometimes it does the
melancholy act when snow falls. It is truly unbelievable
how the Moselle has burrowed deep into the valleys and
in innumerable windings into the mountains. Its path
leads past vineyards, meadows and forests. In the
Cochemer Land, the communities of Bruttig-Fankel,
Beilstein, Bremm, Briedern, Ediger-Eller,
Ellenz-Poltersdorf, Ernst, Klotten, Mesenich,
Senheim-Senhals, Nehren,Valwig hug close to it and call
out to the quests: “We are Moselaners!” The crooked
lanes of the towns with their half-timber houses and
cosy inciting vineyards in combination with the Moselle
landscape so richly endowed by nature all contribute to
the attraction of this holiday region. |

The Romans
discovered the benefits of the mild Moselle climate over
2000 years ago, and the steep riverbank slopes have been
cultivated as vineyards ever since. The heart of the
Moselle Valley is the “Cochemer Krampen”. This
distinctive countryside, with its romantic towns and
villages, is an inviting destination for holidays packed
with pleasures great and small.
