Moselle River

 Moselle River

Everyone has heard of the romantic road through southern Germany, if you haven’t, it’s a road that travels through a list of very beautiful small towns that have castles, etc along the way.  Instead of doing this we’ve picked the Moselle River route.  

The Moselle is the Rhine’s peaceful little brother, it’s about 300 miles long and starts in France. The German bit is the bit we’re interested in. Also known as the Moselle wine route.  Grapes are grown on the sides of the hill at angles of 65 degrees, with stone terraces….wow  beautiful.  There is of course castles, fortress, etc   The river also heads off into France in the Lorraine and Alsace regions, where we want to see next.

One thing I’m getting to remember all the old 70’s music, everywhere you go that’s what they’re playing. A good friend in Oz told me to expect it.







Koblenz

This is the town at the junction of the Rhine and the Moselle rivers….the starting point.  We took the bus from the park into Koblenz and had a look around.  There was a cable car going up to the fort and always a church.
