Bernkastel-Kues in the Mosel

Whilst in the Mosel region we took a meandering boat trip to the charming and characteristic medieval town of Bernkastel-Kues. Offering stunning views of the Moselle River and valley, we enjoyed a stroll up to the Castle Landshut ruins, a former summer residence of the Archbishops of Trier that was destroyed by fire on 8 January 1692. Bernkastel was first documented in the 11th Century and has since been ravaged by plague, fire and the Nazi Kristallnacht yet the 17th Century gabled timber houses still stand today, as well as the Spitzhäuschen from 1416.
