The subsequent a part of our street journey was gonna be all in regards to the Moselle Valley of Germany and given how stunning the Rhine Valley was, this was one a part of the journey I used to be actually wanting ahead to.

Leaving Assmannshausen, we made our means over to The Moselle Loop Viewpoint.

Nearly forgot – to set some context, the Moselle Loop is a hairpin flip within the Moselle river and is definitely fairly a picturesque a part of this valley

There’s a carpark close to the point of view the place you’ll be able to drop your automobile off at and simply benefit from the brief however scenic stroll over to the point of view.

However right here’s the factor with the point of view – since you’re proper on the sting of a excessive, steep hill. You’ll be able to truly see the Moselle Loop however it’s such a restricted view which you’ll’t actually see correctly into the valley.

Naturally, you’d suppose – “Stroll ahead! That means you’ll be able to see it higher…” however no. You stroll any extra ahead and also you’ll end up rolling personal the grass into the valley beneath. (It’s truly fairly steep past the sting).

Having seen beautiful, unrestricted views of the Moselle Loop, I figured we’d greatest give the point of view a miss (disgrace although, there’s an natural wine place on the viewpoint– Weingut Laurentiushof which I used to be wanting ahead to making an attempt out) and head down into the vineyards beneath for a greater look.

You truly need to drive away such as you’re leaving for a superb 10 minutes or so earlier than you discover a street that takes you to the vineyards.

That street is kinda scary (in that it’s solely constructed for one automobile at a time) however inside a couple of brief minutes, you end up with that unrestricted view of the Moselle Loop, Moselle valley and even the village beneath.

By the way in which, you don’t need to drive right here for those who’re not sure in regards to the roads. Simply park the automobile and stroll over right here. With the solar shining, it’s truly a nice stroll by the woods and fairly straightforward to do!

After taking our time to absorb all of that view, we finally determined it was time for lunch and headed over to Bernkastel Kues, one other of these completely attractive German cities dotted across the Moselle Valley.

I used to be ravenous by the point we bought to Bernkastel Kues (we each had been) and the very first thing we did was seize lunch on the first place we discovered (not the very best concept – the lunch was common at greatest however it was one of many solely locations nonetheless open and by that time, my starvation was like a beast that something would have tasted good).

Nonetheless although – fed, we headed off to go take a look at Bernkastel Kues correctly.

Bernkastel Kues is such a stunning city and seems like one thing out of a German fairytale. It’s simply so unimaginable!

The vibrant timbered homes had been simply such a visible delight we simply misplaced hours poking across the stunning city (random truth – Bernkastel Kues is a state recognised well being resort – not solely certain what meaning however it sounds good. 😀 ).

Anyway, let me present you round…

See what I imply? It’s simply so fairly right here!

Anyhoo, finally, it was time to go away Bernkastel Kues however undoubtedly not with out grabbing dinner first.

We deliberate higher this time round for dinner and chosen probably the greatest eating places on the town – Leckerbissen Restaurant Graacher Tor.

Nonetheless surprisingly not ravenous after lunch a couple of hours in the past, we plumped for simply mains – with a steak for myself and dumplings (full of goats cheese) for Lloyd.

And with that, it was time to go away stunning Bernkastel Kues and go discover our subsequent house for the journey – and one applicable for the wine-rising Moselle valley space – Weingut Gehlen Cornelius, a winery with a lodge in it.

Arriving on the lodge, with no extra driving to be performed, we made it some extent to pattern a number of the wines grown proper on this very winery, which went down fairly the deal with with these attractive views of stated-winery.

You can hear nothing for miles however the gentle wind rustling by the leaves, the birds and the occasional bee whizzing previous too busy to care about something you had been as much as. 😀

It was completely superb and simply the proper strategy to end up an exquisite day!
