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.
Unique Christmas Markets
During Advent, the Moselle transforms into a ribbon of lights made of half-timbered houses, wine cellars, and the scent of mulled wine.
In Bernkastel-Kues, stalls crowd around the historic market square, while a floating Advent wreath gently sways on the river and divers swim with torches to Burg Landshut on December 23rd.
Nearby Traben-Trarbach attracts visitors with the “Mosel Wine Christmas Market,” held in romantically illuminated Art Nouveau wine cellars, serving winemaker mulled wine and crafts underground.
The route is complemented by atmospheric weekend markets in Cochem in front of the castle, in the cathedral setting of Trier, as well as at the castles of Alken and Beilstein — perfect stops for a winter stroll along the Moselle.

Erbeskopf – Rhineland-Palatinate’s highest point
In winter, the Erbeskopf transforms into the highest winter sports area in Rhineland-Palatinate: two short, snow-covered downhill slopes with a drag lift, several groomed cross-country ski trails, and a separate toboggan run offer easy winter fun for families.
The 816-meter summit trail remains cleared, so you can still enjoy the view from the Skytower even in freezing temperatures or take part in a guided torchlight hike in the national park.
A rental service at the base station provides ski, sled, and snowboard equipment, while huts offering mulled wine and soup provide warm breaks.
This makes the Erbeskopf an ideal destination for a spontaneous winter day in the Hunsrück region.
