Must See Towns/Villages Mosel Germany

[irnbru]

Looking for recommendations of lovely towns and villages along the Mosel river Germany please.

 

[Two on Tour]

We are off to the Mosel again next month.

Trier is worth spending a day looking around in general and the Roman landmarks, but a lot are closed on a Monday.
Cochem is a must for the castle which has an English speaking tour at 1pm as I remember.
If you pitch up at Reil, then Punderich is a pretty village to wander around. We cycled around to the chain ferry to cross the river to the village.
Visit the Globus shopping complex at Zell and sample the various foods on sale.

Trier - Burnkastel Kues - Cochem. Boppard - is strictly on the Rhine but great for ferry across to Rudeseim, the Asbach factory and famous Drosselgasse alley
Buy some fuel at Remich in Luxemburg before you set off down the Mosel.
Its a long river with lots of bends and lots of Stellplatz but non are free

 

[irnbru]

but non are free

Whats the average price PN? Nothing fancy just basic sites.

 

[Two on Tour]

Back in 2018 when we were there last, most Stellplatz were on average around the 8 euro and night mark and double that plus for campsites.
The Stellplatz on the outside of the campsite by the river at Koblenz was 18 euros and the campsite was packed and costing 36 to 45 euros a night.

While at Cochem the Bundesbank Cold War Bunker, is worth a visit.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

I think Trier was the most expensive you have to buy a card that lets you in plus a card for water.,it was around 10-12 euros but that was before COVID subsequent stellplatz were cheaper except for the one at the Koblenz where the mosel meets the Rhine

You are asking the wrong person Sandra. We hardly ever pay ever pay and prefer woods or picnic areas.
I would guess overlooking the Mosel 14-20E but there are loads

 

[The Coops]

Hands up who is NOT going to the Mosel in Sept? See you all there? , Trier is worth a look round Sandra the *Stelpllatz/aire* is by the river on your way in and its huge! You may find that as you venture up the river the stellplatz get busier, if you get as far as the Rhine be aware that the main railways and roads run right by most campsites, it can be rather noisy at times

Ps
We have parked for free down the mosel but the free places are few and far between.in fact we stayed at one big layby,/ stellpatz along with, dabhand hand, flatpackchicken ,and JockandRita and another funster who I can't remember,sorry.
Town/ village across the road and lots of trees with hazelnuts.

 

[jongood]

There's a cracking little motor museum at Bernkastel Kues

The facts – Zylinderhaus

www.zylinderhaus.com

Lots of post war German DKW, Horst, Mercedes etc, some unusual micro cars and a whole lot of motorcycles

Lovely town to visit as well

 

[funflair]

Enkirch is a lovely little village/town, big stellplatz along the riverside to watch the boats go by €10 per night, nice cycle path along the riverside and walks up into the vines.

Campercontact will show one about every 5 miles along with prices.

 

[Two on Tour]

I would avoid the campsite on the river next to the two bridges at Schweich unless you are a very heavy sleeper or have very good earplugs as the lorry traffic thunders across the bridges all night.

Hands up who is NOT going to the Mosel in Sept?

We are planning to turn left off the ferry this year.
This is assuming the weather forecast is ok
irnbru I will pass on recommending anywhere particular on the Mosel as there are lots of options and would go along with the previous recommendations. ( I would say all are better than Hawick but I am a Pailmerk so I'm bias)

 

[Mr porky]

We will be in that region in September, does anyone have a link to when the wine party's are on if they are on in September.

Bugger,, said to Mrs CC we will go to the Mosel in September after our van service/fix in Germany as it will be a bit quiet and none of them Brits about

 

[Holly's mum]

Eltz Castle is supposed to be very nice, I have added it to our list to visit in September

There seems to be a stellplatz close by that you can walk to the castle from, it costs €4 for 24 hours at the Stellplatz and €8 to park in the castle car park.

Wohnmobilstellplatz​

We enjoyed the Mosel. Cochem was touristy but pretty with nice restaurants. We stayed at the tiny Ediger-Eller Stellplatz which we liked, Moseltherme spa (swimming pool) at Traben-Trabach is cool. Further down the Stellplatz at Minheim was so good we returned. Also, at Zell, Globus had great wines and there was an interesting museum explaining the story of the black cat.

Not sure about the rest of them, but the Weinfest der Mittelmosel (the one in Bernkastel) is 1st-6th September this year.

 

[pjay]

Go steady with the Federweisser at weinfests, they have a kick, especially the next morning.
