A turreted castle high on a hill, Cochem Castle has that fantasy fortress feel that’s somewhat synonymous with the Moselle Valley. While it’s a must-see attraction for its photogenic face alone, the castle also attracts history and architecture buffs, along with those who love a good ghost story—the site has plenty of them.

Yes, the 30-minute walk up to Cochem Castle is the best way to get there, given that you can’t drive right up to it anyway. It’s a steep route up the Schlossstrasse, but one that’s rewarding with vineyards and historic fortifications en-route, along with views of the meandering Moselle River.

Apparently so. When it comes to paranormal activity, Cochem Castle has a history of hauntings that date back to the 20th century (around the time of tourism development, as skeptics point out). Watch out for the white-clad Countess of Cochem or werewolves lurking in the grounds as you explore.

If you want to enjoy Moselle wine at Cochem Castle, your best bet is to book the Knights’ Meal for medieval-themed food, wine, and fun. If you’re more serious about the wine, visit a nearby Moselle winery such as Weingut Kloster Ebernach or a wine shop in Cochem old town.
