Stories from the Mosel
Of castles, vineyards and history
The Mosel is a region steeped in history. Amidst steep vineyards, historic towns and impressive castles, you’ll encounter traces of times gone by and a vibrant culture that is still cherished today. Here, castles and palaces tell tales of knights and nobility, whilst the vineyards bear witness to a wine-growing tradition stretching back thousands of years.
Ehrenburg Castle
Ehrenburg Castle is truly enchanting! Just as much today as it was in days gone by. Whether it’s the jugglers’ days, archery competitions or the courtly banquets. This medieval playground rightly prides itself on being a living castle.
The Moselle is a magical river. Behind almost every wall and every vineyard on the riverbank lies a story that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The imposing castles – literally outstanding settings for many legends – are among the most notable, of which Ehrenburg is arguably the liveliest. There is said to be a ghost there known as ‘Silent Heinrich’. Yet even the story of its origins, centred on a mysterious kissing niche, is legendary. But that is by no means the only reason why hordes of enthusiastic medieval fans are drawn to the Hunsrück forests near Brodenbach.
