Day Trip to Cochem

Denise and I took a day trip to the town of Cochem. It is on the Mosel River. This area is full of vineyards, old castles, lots of history, and of course shopping. The Mosel area is known for its Reisling wine.




Cochem Castle greets your arrival from its hilltop perch. If I remember right, it is about 500 years old.


My view of a plaza in the towns interior from my outdoor table. I was enjoying a coffee while Denise did some shopping.


Denise perusing the menu at Cochem's original Rathskellar where we ate lunch.


We decided to try the cheese plate and the meat plate. Both are served with a bread basket. A great variety of cheeses, both soft and hard, and meats from mild to spicy.


The Rathskellar is located under the town hall. It really is in the "cellar."
It was a fun relaxing day.
