After the rain this morning, the damsel of Cochem made her way to Beilstein, one of the most beautiful places on the Moselle, also known as the Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle, to Metternich Castle. Unfortunately, the climb to the castle wasn't possible today; it was a day of rest 🙈, well, no matter, it was a bit windy up …

It was actually too hot for activities today, but a short trip to Beilstein was still possible. From Cochem, along the Moselle River without any incline and back the other way. Beilstein was truly worth the trip; it was beautifully preserved, with plenty of restaurants and something new to discover around every corner. The climb to Metternich Castle wasn't too …

Of course, I climbed to the highest point to see the Moselle loop 👌. In the village itself, I was impressed not only by the extensive wine selection but also by the …

Cycling along the busy street because the cycle path was flooded. Walked through the village at Beilstein and past the castle. But everything was closed until April.

Great weather at this time of year, little traffic, only paved bike path. The ascent to the monastery in Beilstein is very beautiful, a stop at the Moselle fire distillery is a "must" 😊😋.
