🚢 On the Moselle River, places for shipping are not marked by classic yellow town signs (like on roads), but by specific nautical signs and landmarks. The boat landing (Lieser Moselstraße) Lieser has an official boat landing on the banks of the Moselle (near Moselstraße 28). This is marked for captains and passengers by the typical white piers used by excursion boats (e.g., the passenger shipping company Gebr. Kolb). Often, signs with the town name can also be found directly on the riverbank railing or at the waiting shelters.

"I praise with a full cup the home of delicious wine, I praise the Moselle in the valley, the glorious daughter of the Rhine. The castles rise proudly and greet and speak of ancient times, green-gold the Moselle at my feet, in the eternal garment of youth." (Author unknown)
