Besides the characteristic timber-framed houses, it's not that surprising to find castles in most towns along the Moselle. These edifices grant you a magnificant view of the river and roads. In the past, they allowed those seeking to defend themselves to anticipate every form of danger. But now we can simply enjoy the view...as well as the wine festivals that inhabitants of the Moselle region celebrate from early spring to late autumn. The beer here is also delicious - try the famous Leiwener Klostergarten. And if you really want to get away from it all, slip into the healing spring waters of the Thermal Hallenbad Traben-Trarbach/Bad Wildstein.
