Cochem on the Moselle in 4K: old-town walk and Reichsburg Castle
Walk through Cochem beside the Moselle, then explore Reichsburg Castle and see the town from a second perspective.
The main City Trips walk gives Cochem time to unfold at street level: a compact riverside town with the Reichsburg high above it. That relationship between the Moselle, the old centre and the castle is the key to planning a visit. The fortress seen today was rebuilt in the nineteenth century after an earlier castle was destroyed; it is worth seeing both its exterior silhouette and its interior story. If you have limited time, pair a walk along the river with a dedicated castle visit rather than assuming the uphill climb is part of a flat town stroll. Check current tour arrangements before going.
