Cochem / Mosel

Montag, November 30th, 2009

The city of Cochem is certainly one of the have-to’s for every sound river Mosel-trip. Actually quite a small town, but with a picturesque city-center. And on top of a hill Cochem castle (which is actually a romantic 19th century retro-building) welcomes visitors from all over the world and is a popular spot for wedding’s. Here are some pictures:

So do not miss to visit Cochem at river Mosel once you are around. It is located on half way between Koblenz and Trier and easy to reach by train.

Rhine-Mosel information for tourists

Dienstag, Februar 17th, 2009

Hello folks,

Rhine Mosel is a River area in Western Germany. Though there are not to many resources about this beautiful landscape on the web I thought I could be useful to start with a blog about this two popular tourist destinations.

River Rhine (in German: Rhein) and river Mosel (also written:  Moselle) have a long history of tourism. OK, maybe the Roman empire did not invade this area for such purposes: However, at the time of the Romanticism in the early 19.th century,  more and more British “invaded” the area, but in a friendly way. Mosel and Rhine stood for nature, wine, castles, mistery and so on. Very popular in these days, and still today!

So what can you expect here? First of all let me say, that I am always interested in content from friendly people who have something to tell the world about Rhine and Mosel. Just leave a comment, or if you are very enthusiastic, ask me about posting you article on this website. If you have pictures: great – the more the better.

Well, I think that is enough for my opening words. So I am looking forward to see you from time to time on Rhine-Mosel.com.
