Beilstein

Highlight • Settlement

The city has one of the best preserved historic sites on the Moselle and is therefore also referred to as a miniature Rothenburg or "Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle".

Today we went a bit in Beilstein up to Metternich Castle, then another small round that led us a section through the Briedener Schweiz, with a beautiful view of the Mosel. It was nice. Regards and have a nice evening and Whit Monday to all of you. Regards 😊 🙋🏻‍♀️

An enchanting circular walk that starts in the picturesque Beilstein, a pearl on the Moselle. After a short exploration of the village, you walk up to the historic ruins of Burg Metternich, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the river and vineyards. After visiting the small chapel and lighting a candle, the route continues through the quiet forest …

We walked from Briedern to Beilstein along the Moselsteig and took the bus back because it was already late. Beilstein is a very pretty little town with lots of beautiful streets and houses.
