Germany - Rhineland Palatinate

Bernkastel-Kues

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Bernkastel-Kues is two villages: Bernkastel on one side and Kues lying just across the bridge on the other side of the river. In this wine valley, Bernkastel stands out as the most picturesque of the larger villages. You will fall in love with this quaint wine village where colorful, 400-year-old, half-timbered houses are grouped around a flower-filled marketplace and beautiful medieval houses extend for several blocks. A couple of blocks up the main street is an interesting toy and doll museum. For a closer look at another castle overlooking the river, follow Bernkastel’s main street up a narrow valley to Berg Landshut, the ruins of a castle set in vineyards that tumble to the river below. A restaurant has been incorporated into the ruined keep and the view is impressive.
