Holiday in Moseltal

About Moseltal

The Mosel Valley is one of the most romantic river landscapes in Europe. Over more than 240 kilometers, the Mosel winds from the German-French border at Perl to its confluence with the Rhine at the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, through steep slate cliffs, sun-drenched vineyards, and medieval wine villages. The numerous river bends create spectacular panoramas that have fascinated travelers since Roman times. The Mosel Valley is one of the oldest and steepest wine-growing regions in the world. On slate soils, some of the best Riesling wines on the planet grow on slopes with inclinations of up to 65 degrees. Wineries in Bernkastel-Küs, Piesport, Uerzig, and Zeltingen invite visitors for tastings. The Calmont region between Bremm and Ediger-Eller boasts the steepest vineyard in Europe. Historic cities line the valley: Trier, the oldest city in Germany, impresses with its Roman Porta Nigra, Imperial Baths, and Cathedral. Cochem is dominated by the majestic Reichsburg. Bernkastel-Küs enchants with its marketplace and its gabled half-timbered houses. Burg Eltz in the side valley of the Elz is considered one of the most beautiful high castles in Germany. The Mosel Cycle Path runs almost continuously flat along the riverbank for 248 kilometers and is one of the most popular cycling routes in Europe. Excursion boats navigate the Mosel between Trier and Koblenz. Whether wine tasting, castle visits, cycling tours, or relaxing boat trips — the Mosel Valley uniquely combines enjoyment, history, and nature.
