2Cochem: A Rhine Valley Fairytale
Cochem, located on the banks of the Moselle River in the Rhine Valley, is a village straight out of a fairy tale. Dominated by the towering Cochem Castle, which sits on a hill overlooking the village and river, Cochem is one of the most picturesque spots in the region.
The village’s narrow streets are lined with half-timbered houses, charming cafes, and local wine shops. Cochem is famous for its Riesling wines, and visitors can sample the region’s best vintages at one of the many wine cellars. A visit to Cochem Castle offers stunning views of the Moselle River and the surrounding vineyards, while a river cruise along the Moselle provides a romantic and scenic way to explore the area.
