Cochem’s spectacular site is one of the most famous in
the whole of the Moselle region, with its 1000-year-old
fairy tale Imperial Castle towering above vine-covered
hillsides and a picturesque Old Town full of
half-timbered houses nestled together against the steep
slopes of the valley.
Cochem is one of the liveliest of the Moselle wine
towns, with its spring Wine Festival and almost endless
possibilities for tasting a huge range of delicious
local wines. The town is surrounded by footpaths leading
to charming neighbouring wine villages, or deep into the
beautiful and unspoilt Eifel and Hunsrück regions on
either side of the river.
Of all the major Moselle wine centres, Cochem lies the
closest to the Rhine, which is little more than 30 miles
away, making this an ideal base for exploring the
scenery – and tasting the wonderful wines – of this
lovely region. |
