Cochem river cruises, Germany

What's great about Cochem river cruises?

Cosied into one of the curves of the Moselle River, Cochem is Germany at its prettiest. Its old town’s fit to bursting with half-timbered houses and Medieval gates. Its hill’s crowned by a romantic-looking castle, and restaurants and manicured parks form ranks along its riverside promenade. Hiking trails lace through the surrounding valleys and vineyards, where you can reward yourself with a glass of local Reisling. Catching a ride on the chairlift up to the Pinnerkreuz lookout is a great way to start. It’s worth it for the views alone. Elsewhere, you can track down the town’s secret Cold War bunker. It’s home to a huge safe, where Germany’s Central Bank stored £8 billion in case of a nuclear war.
