Bernkastel-Kues Market Square and the Spitzhäuschen

Highlight • Historical Site

A very beautiful little town, both in summer and winter. Beautiful half-timbered houses, narrow streets, the opportunity to take a boat trip on the Moselle, and hike to the castle ruins. There's no chance of getting bored here.

Great view of the city. And challenging trail back to the valley. Attention, very narrow path with roots, steps and hairpin bends. Also liked by hikers.

It was great! It was impressive! It was challenging! Therefore: I hope the pictures speak for themselves! Because: it was also strenuous 😉🥰
