Bernkastel-Kues delights visitors with its medieval market square, framed by magnificent 17th-century half-timbered houses and the Renaissance town hall dating from 1608. Another highlight is the former summer residence of the archbishops of Trier – a place steeped in history and charm.

Cuisine & wine

The Moselle region is famous for its mineral-rich, delicately fruity white wines – especially Rieslings. The Celts and Romans already used the steep slate slopes and 400-million-year-old clay slate soils for viticulture. Today, the Moselle is one of the five largest German wine-growing regions and offers an incomparable taste experience.
