The city has one of the best preserved historic sites on the Moselle and is therefore also referred to as a miniature Rothenburg or "Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle".

Very nice tour with a view of the Moselle. Good footwear is definitely an advantage. This is also indicated on signs. We wanted to go up to the castle at the end of the tour, but just missed the opening time. Tip: It is best to inform yourself beforehand.

Unfortunately, there were no more markings. We …

Awesome tour: first a section of the Moselsteig trail, an adventurous route with beautiful views of the Moselle, then the monastery and village of Beilstein, with immediate escape from the crowds, finally a return journey that was almost nonexistent at times, but mastered brilliantly, and repeated views of the magnificent Moselle landscape. Strenuous, but truly beautiful.🤠

Today was an adventure hike. The Moselsteig Trail required some attention, but it's beautiful. Not a good idea in Birkenstocks, though...as we observed with a hiker. You know what? 🥺 The second time we met her, she was limping badly.😏
The pretty little villages were too busy for us, so we fled and skipped visiting Metternich Castle. The way back...pure …
