ギレンベウーレンの洞窟・トップ13

High atop Pinnerberg Mountain stands the Pinner Cross, a vantage point offering a magnificent view of the Moselle Valley. Its name comes from a shepherd who, while saving one of his lost animals from a fall, lost his life in the process. The cross was erected in his memory. The view of the town of Cochem with its Reichsburg Castle and the entire Moselle loop is impressive.

The cross is approximately 18 meters high and consists of a cross spire, a shaft, and a base. High up on the Pinnerberg, which is easily accessible by the Cochem chairlift, stands the Pinner Cross, a vantage point with a magnificent view of the Moselle Valley. The name goes back to a shepherd who tried to save one of his lost animals from falling and lost his life in the process. The cross was erected in his memory.

There are beautiful views of the surrounding area. The guided tour provides interesting information about the castle. The tour lasts approximately 40 minutes; unfortunately, you won't be able to enter the castle interior without a guide. Photography is permitted inside. You can access the castle on foot or by bus from the bus station. The castle is not wheelchair accessible.

Breathtaking view of the Reichsburg Castle in Cochem. You won't forget it.

The view of Cochem and its castle is beautiful, if only there weren't overtourism: there were 4 large river cruise ships there at the same time and hundreds of cars parked on the banks, not to mention coaches - meaning thousands of tourists in the small town. So very, very loud, hectic and exhaust fumes and diesel in the air. Unfortunately, it's no longer a romantic place - at least not here in August 2024.

Impressive view of the castle from the bike path!

The late Gothic building with its incomparable outline rises more than 100 m above the Moselle on a striking cone. The Reichsburg is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. More info 👇 https://reichsburg-cochem.de/die-burg/
