MOSEL VALLEY Vacation/Holiday Rentals & Sales

Mosel Valley

The Moselle Valley rises in the foothills of the Vosges in France, but its most scenic portion is the last 193km (120 miles) before it enters the Rhine at Koblenz.

Running through, and along the borders of these three different countries, this superior wine-producing region produces has produced an estimated 85 million bottles of wine annually since the nineteenth century. Many of the rich and full-bodied Mosel wines are superior to those of the Rhine Valley.

The Moselle has developed a strong tourism industry with so much to offer such as its beautiful landscapes,castles, history, and countrysides rich in legends. That being said, in high season many organised tour groups arrive in the popular towns - such as Cochem which, if crowds are not your thing, are best visited outside of the peak holiday season.

Entering Germany via France or Luxembourg, the Mosel (Moselle in French) route is a good way to begin your tour of the German countryside. You should take in the major city of Trier and its significant Roman ruins which are some of the best-preserved remains of classical antiquity in northern Europe. Heading through the Hunsrück and Eifel mountains, it is from here that the Mosel River cuts through the mountains until it reaches Koblenz, where it flows into the River Rhine.
