プラッテンのおすすめツーリングルート

🚲 The section of the Moselle Cycle Path from Wehlen to Bernkastel-Kues is one of the most picturesque and relaxing parts of the entire route. It runs almost entirely flat along the riverbank and offers magnificent views of world-famous steep slopes.

🌉 The Moselle bridge in Bernkastel-Kues is far more than just a transport link – it is the vital artery that connects the two very different districts of Bernkastel (old town) and Kues (plateau & hospital).

The timber framing, which overhangs on three sides, was only uncovered in 1914. Due to the fire hazard, the timber framing had been plastered over in the years prior. The charming bay window and the timber-framed facades are testaments to the traditional architecture of the Moselle region. The design of the pointed cottage vividly and clearly symbolizes the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period. It is also a typical example of old Moselle winegrowers' houses, with its wine cellar lined with slate and oak beams, the projecting upper floors on both sides, and the high attic storage area for winter fodder and livestock. Inside the cottage, on the ground floor, is now the wine tavern of the Schmitz-Herges family winery.

Great insect hotel 🐝

Whether the view from the castle or from Bernkastel-Kues to the castle, both perspectives are worthwhile.

The old town of Bernkastel is absolutely worth seeing. It's best to park in the large parking lot on the banks of the Moselle to explore the old town on foot. Several circular hiking trails are also available. It's best to check out the tourist information office (within sight of the Moselle parking lot) or Komoot.
