Bernkastel-Kues is the beating heart of the Middle Mosel.
Almost every river cruise visits this port of call, with an endless throng of international visitors disembarking every hour.
Though small, the town is home to renowned estates such as Dr. Loosen, Joh.Jos.Prüm and Markus Molitor. It is also the site of the “Bernkasteler Doctor”, a world-famous vineyard with a certain unmistakable panache.
While the ruins of Landshut Castle atop the mountain are among the most popular highlights of Bernkastel-Kues, the roughly two million annual day trippers typically head straight for the same prime destination: the medieval marketplace and its pristine half-timbered houses.
These include the Renaissance-era town hall from 1608 and St. Michael’s Fountain from roughly the same period. Or the splendid Adler Apotheke, built in 1660. In the run-up to Christmas, the many windows of the Tudor-style house are converted into a giant advent calendar. The Spitzhäuschen, a pointy structure that now houses a cosy wine bar, is an especially popular photo motif. It has stood for almost 600 years now at a slightly askew angle, as if balanced on a pedestal much too small for it. Tours of the old city are available year-round.
And on the opposite shore, Kues beckons with the Moselvinothek, a wine bar with over 100 wines available for tasting.
Wine architecture, boat trips, wine tastings and delicious guided tours. All this is available in a wonderful offer from the Bernkastel-Kues holiday region:
