Time to start catching up on the backlog of travel posts. A few weeks ago, we visited Cochem with some friends. Cochem is a pleasant town situated nicely on the scenic Mosel River. Its imposing castle offers wonderful views of the river, town and vineyards. We parked in the southern end of town and took the castle path up (see pictures below). We took in the sights until the next English tour (offered frequently during the summer).
The castle tour, lasting 40-60 minutes, gave a nice overview of the castle's (and owner's) story.
Once done, we hiked another path back down, and soon found ourselves in a quaint village packed with shopping and eating options.
Afterwards, we drove on the Mosel for a way. It feels like a less busy (but no less beautiful) Rhein, and is a great day trip.
