Cochem Reichsburg Germany

What is the famous castle in Cochem?

The most famous castle in Cochem is Reichsburg Cochem, as it is the only fully standing castle in the town of Cochem. The most famous castle in the Mosel Valley is definitely Burg Eltz though. Burg Eltz is one of the most picturesque castles in all of Europe and a must-see when visiting Cochem.

When should I visit the Mosel Valley?

The Mosel Valley is best in the late spring, summer, and fall. Between mid April and the end of October, ideally. As it’s off the radar for most people when they visit Germany, it doesn’t get overcrowded in the summer months. It is a popular domestic destination for Germans, though, so summer is definitely more busy than spring and fall.
