In the most romantic part of the Moselle Valley, where the river curves between two hiking paradises - Eifel and Hunsrück - lies the old town of Cochem. Even the Romans sang the praises of this remarkable landscape. It is true - a few things have changed since then, but the attraction has remained because the past centuries - above all the Middle Ages - have left their marks here. The magnificent Reichsburg, the big castle, situated on a precipitous rock high above the town, dominates the landscape. The numerous small pointed towers, battlement and oriels give the impression of a typical fairy tale castle, particularly as it is one of the few castles in Germany, which was rebuilt in its original style after its complete destruction. At the castle you can get a great view of the Moselle Valley with its beautiful forests, meadows, fields and vineyards, as well as the old part of the town.
The town of Cochem is worth a trip not only because of its narrow streets and twisty alleys, the lovingly restored half-timbered houses with the typical slate roofs, the historical market place, but also because of its medieval town gates, churches and walls.

The castle in Cochem (The Reichsburg) celebrates its traditional festival. Actors in medieval costumes entertain the guests.
