About this place

Base yourselves in Bernkastel-Kues or tiny Beilstein, taste featherlight Rieslings in family cellars measured in centuries, and walk a stretch of the Moselsteig trail high above the water. September's wine festivals fill the squares; a river cruise at dusk shows off the valley best.
