The Mosel valley from Trier to Koblenz
The Mosel river with its length of 545km, isn't even half as long as
the Rhine. It has its source in the southern Vosges, from where it
winds through the area of Trier in order to reach a branch of the
Hunsrück.
From there, until it meets the Rhine at Koblenz, it flows
through the deeply cut, winding valleys of the Rhenish slate mountains,
creating a natural boundary at the north of the Hunsrück. The Mosel
valley is an important wine growing area with famous names such as
Bernkastel, Traben-Trarbach, Zell and Cochem.

have a magnificent view down into the Mosel valley with its famous vineyards
and the great Mosel loop at Bremm. The cloister ruine Stuben lies on the
opposite side of the Moselle surrounded by vineyards.
