A small market square with a fountain and beautiful half-timbered buildings. It's hard to know where to look first. There are plenty of wine bars and nice restaurants. On the way to Landshut Castle (Karlstrasse) you'll find one of the most striking half-timbered houses on the right, the Spitzhäuschen.

Bernkastel Old Town Square

Highlight • Settlement

Very nice old town. Even a bicycle cellar is available free of charge. Wheelchairs lockers 👍The place is overflowing. Also Kues is worth a detour. Here start many Mosel ships.

Bernkastel-Kues Market Square and the Spitzhäuschen

Highlight • Historical Site

A very beautiful little town, both in summer and winter. Beautiful half-timbered houses, narrow streets, the opportunity to take a boat trip on the Moselle, and hike to the castle ruins. There's no chance of getting bored here.

Tinkel Chapel Above the Waterfall

Highlight • Religious Site

Pretty little chapel on the slate rock above the waterfall. The stairs should be climbed with caution, as they are often slippery! The crevice in the rock at the waterfall, whose jagged profile can be interpreted as a chicken's head and is therefore called "det Hinkel", has given the chapel towering above it the name Tinkel Chapel.

October 8, 2022,Spaziergang zur Burg - eine Minitour am ersten Tag in Bernkastel-Kues

On the arrival day of our Moselle trip in Bernkastel-Kues there wasn't much time left for an extended tour, but there should still be some exercise after the journey. ☺️ So for the first time up the steep vineyards and visited Landshut Castle, on the short way back to the city there was a detour to the waterfall and the …

We then walked this small round to the Moselsteig side jump. Of course, the detour to the waterfall had to be (I love waterfalls) and the view from Landshut Castle is worth the climb. If you choose the path over the waterfall and the back of the mountain, the climb is not that steep either.
We had a delicious meal …

After more than two weeks of rehab, it was time to explore the other side of the Moselle. From Bernkastel up to the Schützenhaus and then on to the ruins of Landshut Castle (nice and slow), after a rest to the chapel and the waterfall. A completely different landscape. Then back down to the historic center of Bernkastel. !

After visiting the extremely beautiful Christmas market in Bernkastel-Kues, a not extremely long, but very beautiful hike to the waterfall with a chapel (somehow very emotional) and then to Landshut Castle. Great view from all directions of the valley and the Moselle.

Hike up to Landshut Castle through the beautiful vineyards. Followed by a short stroll through the old town of Bernkastel. The twin town of Bernkastel-Kues is often referred to as the heart of the Middle Moselle and is thus considered the most popular town and center of the Middle Moselle.
