Must See Towns/Villages Mosel Germany

[jockaneezer]

We stayed at Zell for the wine festival. We were camped right on the riverbank stelplatze, which belongs to the campsite further upstream (a guy comes around in the evening for payment and you can use the water/elsan at the campsite) They set up a fairground right across the river from us, but the noise/music was horrendous and seemed to be come "concentrated" as it travelled over the water ? The fairground rides and music didn't stop till about 3am ! The wine festival on the other hand was great, a refundable small fee for your glass, a great selection of wines and the usual food stalls, currywust being our favourite.
We also stayed at a barriered stelplatze at Trier (there's a small hut with console inside where you can load your barrier dispensed card with euros for electric and to pay when leaving) but a British couple we met later had stayed on the free car park down near McDonald's and that had turned out to be a dogging (hunding ? ) site !

Knaus Bernkastel-Kues site is on the ACSI list so 22 euros once into September.
Would happily stop there again.

Thanks irnbru for starting this conversation - looks like its going to be crowded. We’re off to explore from September 4th until Hallowe’en. Hope to bump into (not literally) some of you, somewhere along the way.

I’m sure there’s a much longer word for it in German ;-)

Is there a secret sign?

 

[irnbru]

Is there a secret sign?

A funster sticker If you don’t have one you can print one off from the files section or send a sae to Jim

The look of an escapee from an institution is usually a giveaway
This may not be foolproof but some don't have the stickers on display

If you can find the small town of Wolf on the Mosel , I can highly recommend their fine festival.
with free parking ,water and Elsa disposal . The food and wine Is good , but best of all the competition
between the Dutch umpar bands is an absolute joy . Driving toward France Wolf is on the left bank. I hope you find it and have as much fun as we had

Quick look on the map and from Trier to a town up river there is a bus service so I would say yes and the Germans have a good public transport network.

And after all that , if there’s not much there and I don’t like white wine we might give it a miss if we even get to Germany. but I appreciate all the info from everyone

Also a train service
Worth checking how close your stop is to a train line as a lot of freight moves at night.
Rhine is noisier as there are lines both sides of the river
Barges trundle up and down 24 /7

Just googled “German town called Wolf”

2 weeks ago done a week on the Mosel, my 8th trip up and down . Stay on a different stelpatz if I can so have done many, lots of good ones some not so good but there is one in nearly every village average prices are between 7and 10 euros. Incidentally only saw one British van in the week we were there. One very overrated was Reil. Our favourites, Traban Trabach and Zell by the footbridge.Tunnel tomorrow after 7 week away.

This was my search return.

 

[Dear Ducato]

I use to take a coach load of passengers to Cochem twice a year, and stay at the Burg Hotel. Even took my wife and four friends there to celebrate my 60th birthday! From Cochem, we used to drive down to Bernkastle Kues, Trier, over the mountains to the Rhine and Koblenz. The whole area is beautiful. I'm hoping to go back one day in my motorhome, as I have so many glorious memories of visiting there, although I remember my mother once saying when we visited the station where she lived and worked during the war, "Don't go back!" I expect that it has all changed now, especially the ownership of The Burg.

Not sure there will be many barges running after all.
Apparently they are being restricted to 30% of their normal tonnage

Hi. Anyone currently on the Mosel. We are heading there later today, hopefully find a wine festival. Although we have done this area twice now things do change. Heading from dusseldorf where would you recommend first. I'm thinking of callng into koblenz for tonight ?

That's great, unfortunately we only have a scooter and to be honest I may feel like a drink later (still at the garage getting the motorhome fixed) so I'm going to try the stellplatz next to the expensive campsite that's closer to koblenz. We do miss the push bikes but love our 300cc Scooter more or depending what time they are finished somewhere in-between dusseldorf and koblenz.

It is but we have done this before, great recommendation though.
