Destinations » River Cruises » European Rivers » Cochem


Following the course of the Moselle river for more than 100 miles is the beautiful Moselle Valley. The prettiest town in this popular wine-producing region, Cochem occupies the site of one of the valley´s earliest settlements. The medieval-style Reichsburh Castle, which dominates the town from atop a hill, is worth seeing, as is the Old Town with its cobblestone streets and halftimbered houses.

Attractions

Originally built in the 11th century, the castle was destroyed by French soldiers in 1689 and reconstructed in the 19th century.
