Cochem is a beautiful small tourist town located in western Germany, about 170 kilometers from Frankfurt. The town consists of houses situated on both sides of the Moselle River. The Reichsburg Castle, an ancient fortress built on a hill, stands prominently above the town. It has become a popular tourist attraction because it offers a panoramic view of the town below. The old town is also very pleasant to walk around, featuring Half-timbered houses (constructed in the traditional style from the European Middle Ages, with a framework and beams made of hardwood such as teak, and joints secured with large wooden pegs. The exterior and interior walls are wooden, combined with brick or stone walls). Visitors can enjoy taking beautiful photos and there are also restaurants and souvenir shops for shopping.

I had a bad image of German castles, but the castle in Cochem was so cute with lots of stained glass!!! It is often called Cochem Castle, but its official name is Reichsburg Castle. You can walk there from the town of Cochem, but there seems to be a shuttle bus from Endertplatz, where the tourist information center is located. The shuttle bus is recommended because it is an old slope. The building is a guided tour. The price will increase from next year, so if you go, go early! 🔥. . . 📍Reichsburg Castle 🗺️Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany 🕒9:00-17:00 💰€8.5 (2024), €10 (2025) #Fritavi #Germany #EuropeanTrip

We walked around Cochem, which was in a frenzy on the last day of the wine festival. We were shown around the city on the cruise tour, but we went out to take photos before and after 📸 The green space along the river is especially nice, with a view of the castle 🫶🏻 The line drawn on the building in the third picture is apparently a record of the maximum water level during floods. Of the several towns along the Moselle we visited this time, this one seemed particularly popular with tourists, with many things to see. . . 📍Cochem 🗺️Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany 🕒 - 💰 - #Fritavi #Germany #EuropeTrip

#myhiddengems When I started planning my trip to Moselle Valley. I began researching about a good destination that can form the base. Turns out Cochem was it. This medieval town is located in the heart of the Moselle Valley. Besides being a suitable base. On it's own, Cochem offers a lovely natural landscape with its lush vineyards, riverside promenades and important historical sites like the Cochem Castle, which is undoubtedly amongst the country’s most splendid castles. Cochem is a year round destination. However, summer is the peak travel season for Germany. Meaning the prices are higher. Another advantage of summer travel is the weather will be warm, there will be sunny days and the town will be more lively. Cochem is also known for festivals from time to time. During my stop in August I had the first hand experience of Cochem Castle Festival. At that time the vineyard trips were fun. My main purpose of Cochem trip was a solid base for Rhine and moselle. That which it served very well.#myhiddengems #cochem #100waysoftravel #summerdestinations #flowerlover #germany #castles #europe #singapore

#2024wish I just finished a great visit to Cochem Castle in Germany and I'm still excited about the middle ages! 🏰✨ The six euros for entry is very cheap considering that the wonderful views and history this place brings can't be missed. Cochem Castle is a dreamy place on the top of a hill by Moselle River. The guided tour, with its stories about brave knights and important families changed history into a big screen film. 🎥👑 The castle is a great example of old buildings from the middle ages. Views looking down on the river are so perfect they might be in your dream! #CastleDreams The nice thing is that Cochem town itself is a special place, close walking distance from the castle. Small wooden houses, paved roads and cute stores make a feeling that's both neat and busy. 🏡💰 And if you like wine, the nearby grape farms have tastings that will make your tongue happy. I went on a beautiful boat ride along the Moselle river, right under the castle. It was like being in a perfect picture! 🚤🍇 Also, don't forget to visit the Cochem Winery for some local wines and beautiful views of the vineyards. In simple words, Cochem Castle is a place you should go to if you like history and romance or want an adventure that feels like a fairy tale. I'm already making plans to go back to this magical part of Germany! #CochemMagic #CastleAdventure #germany
