June 22, 2025,Cochem- Beilstein

Cycling along the busy street because the cycle path was flooded. Walked through the village at Beilstein and past the castle. But everything was closed until April.

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" 😊😋.
