Experience winter along the Moselle in Bernkastel-Kues
Snow-covered alleyways, picturesque half-timbered houses and the enchanting scent of fir trees... the old town of Bernkastel exudes its charm not only in the summer months, but also in winter. The atmospheric Christmas market is just as enticing as a leisurely hike through the wintry Moselle landscape with hot tea or cocoa in your luggage. Or how about a cozy Advent boat trip or a visit to one of the many museums. There is also time to relax, with hotels in the holiday region offering spa days, massages and more.
