🚢✨ The Zeltingen-Rachtig lock is an impressive testament to river canalization, and as one of the most important weirs, it dictates the rhythm of shipping on the Middle Moselle. Located directly opposite the historic Machern Monastery, it combines technical precision with the flowing movement of the water.

📍🚲 The listening point on the Moselle Cycle Path at the High Moselle Bridge is a modern station of the "Moselle Audio Tour," inviting cyclists to take a break right on the riverbank near Zeltingen-Rachtig. At this special spot, acoustic information merges with an impressive visual experience.

-Really interesting. My father also had such a great vintage car back then

The Zylinderhaus in Bernkastel-Kues is a nostalgia and classic car museum dedicated to German automotive history, offering much more than just a vehicle exhibition. Over 5,000 square meters of exhibition space, spread across three floors, showcase more than 150 classic cars and approximately 100 motorcycles. The collection focuses on German makes, particularly vehicles from the post-war economic boom of the 1930s to the 1980s, including brands such as Audi, BMW, Borgward, DKW, Mercedes-Benz, NSU, Opel, VW, and Wanderer. What makes the Zylinderhaus special is its presentation style. The vehicles aren't simply displayed; instead, they are atmospherically staged in detailed retro settings that capture the spirit of each era. Visitors experience a journey through time, passing through recreated historical shopfronts, an electronics store, a toy shop, and even a replica post office, complete with a parked VW Fridolin. Another highlight is the creatively staged junkyard idyll, which also serves as a crime scene. Besides cars and motorcycles, bicycles with auxiliary motors and toy cars are also on display. The museum opened on October 14, 2017, after collector Bernd Benninghoven acquired the original collection and selectively added further exhibits. The building itself is a purpose-built complex, its facade modeled on Gründerzeit-era architecture. The Zylinderhaus sees itself as an event center focused on German automotive history and, in addition to the museum, offers conference and event spaces for occasions such as weddings and seminars. The museum also features a restaurant with a beer garden, serving regional cuisine and providing a delicious complement to the visit. The museum is generally open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with Monday being the day of rest. The entire facility is designed to be barrier-free.

You need at least an hour to see everything there, very beautiful vintage cars from Germany and Austria

The Moselle Valley Bridge is the federal highway crossing over the Moselle River, connecting the Hunsrück and Eifel mountains. The highway bridge is located between the municipalities of Dieblich and Winningen. With a span of 192 meters, it was the prestressed concrete girder bridge with the second-longest span in Germany after the Bendorf Rhine Bridge when it was commissioned. Until 2003, no other bridge of this type with a longer span was put into operation. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moseltalbr%C3%BCcke_(A_1)

The square is characterized by its unique grace and dignity, setting it apart from other market squares in Germany, as it combines attractive coziness with carefree cheerfulness, thus becoming the town's living room. It also serves as its ballroom, the focal point and heart of its life. The 400-year-old half-timbered houses, the Renaissance Town Hall (1608), the St. Michael's Fountain (1606), and the much-admired, charming "Pointed House" (1416) reflect the living poetry of the Middle Ages. The filigree work of the fountain grille, the ornaments and colorful beam drawings in the half-timbering of the houses, and the ornate weather vanes on the roof gables still bear eloquent witness to the town's former prosperity and history.
