The imperial castle in Cochem towers about 100m (154m NN) above the city. It is a medieval customs castle. A tour with a guide is very worthwhile.

It was actually too hot for activities today, but a short trip to Beilstein was still possible. From Cochem, along the Moselle River without any incline and back the other way.

Unfortunately, the climb to the castle wasn't possible today; it was a day of rest 🙈, well, no matter, it was a bit windy up …

Great weather at this time of year, little traffic, only paved bike path. The ascent to the monastery in Beilstein is very beautiful, a stop at the Moselle fire distillery is a "must" 😊😋.
