Cochem

Cochem straddles the Moselle in Rhineland-Palatinate, and its position in the steep-sided river valley has long linked the town with vineyard cultivation and traffic along the Moselle. Reichsburg Cochem rises above the old town: the medieval fortress was destroyed by French troops in 1689 and rebuilt in the 19th century in a Neo-Gothic style. Below it, narrow lanes, half-timbered houses and the market square retain the compact character of a Moselle wine town. River cruises, walking routes and local wine taverns make Cochem a practical base for following the valley’s bends between vineyard slopes.
