DISCOVER THEM SPECTACULAR RIVER LANDSCAPE
THE MOSEL
Here, you can expect ancient world cultural heritage, impressive castles, exquisite cuisine, historic wine towns and cities, Moselle cycle paths, and of course, a beautiful hiking region for relaxed walks or climbing tours on the Calmontsteig, the steepest vineyard in Europe.
Extraordinary Christmas Markets
During Advent season, the Moselle region transforms into a ribbon of lights, half-timbered houses, wine cellars, and the scent of mulled wine.
In Bernkastel-Kues, market stalls gather around the historic market square, while a floating Advent wreath drifts on the river and divers swim with torches to Burg Landshut on December 23rd.
Nearby Traben-Trarbach attracts visitors with the “Moselle Wine Christmas Market,” held in romantically illuminated Art Nouveau wine cellars, where winemakers’ mulled wine and handmade crafts are served underground.
The route is complemented by atmospheric weekend markets in Cochem beneath the Reichsburg Cochem, within the cathedral ensemble of Trier, and near the castles of Alken and Beilstein — perfect stops for a magical winter journey along the Moselle.

Erbeskopf – The Highest Point in Rhineland-Palatinate
In winter, Erbeskopf transforms into the highest winter sports area in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Two short, snow-covered ski slopes with drag lifts, several groomed cross-country ski trails, and a separate toboggan run offer uncomplicated winter fun for families.
The 816-metre summit path remains cleared, allowing visitors to enjoy the view from the Skytower even in freezing temperatures or to join a guided torchlight hike through the national park.
A winter rental shop directly at the valley station provides skis, sledges, and snowboards, while mulled wine and soup huts offer the perfect warm-up break.
This makes the Erbeskopf the ideal destination for a spontaneous snowy day in the Hunsrück region.
