Is Cochem worth visiting?

Cochem is a charming town situated in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany. It is located on the banks of the Moselle River and is known for its picturesque scenery and well-preserved medieval architecture.

One of the most iconic landmarks of Cochem is the Reichsburg Castle, which sits majestically atop a hill overlooking the town. And honestly the only reason why i went to Cochem in the first place :D But let's see what else Cochem has to offer

    6:45 grape presses. In Romania's country side, there is one in almost every house becouse we make our own wine every autumn 🍷🙂

    Those presses can be used to juice many other fruits. In Czechia we use them not only for making wine, but also for making raw apple juice 🙂👌

    Cochem was one of my favorite places I visited in Germany! There was a fun Burgfest there in the beginning of August--basically a ren fair type of event with people dressed in medieval clothes, sword fighting, crafts, and music. Also had some delicious pastries & coffee at a cute shop in town. And did bring home some wine! 😉Would love to go back! ❤

    10:03 There are no strict trespassing laws in Germany, so even it is private property, as long as there is no closed gate, you are probably allowed to go there. In publicly accessible privately owned areas you can often see signs like "Privatweg - Benutzung auf eigene Gefahr", which means you are allowed to go there, but the owner is not liable for any accidents that may happen.

    Hi Erika! My wife and I were in Cochem in April, 2023. We didn't stay overnight there, we actually stayed at a B&B in Kobern-Gondorf. But we spent several hours in Cochem and we enjoyed it very much, just like you. We toured the castle, and we got on a tour in English, so that made it easier. We also discovered the same cemetery you did, and we spent some time there. If I remember correctly, there are many nuns buried there, correct? We ate dinner at the Alt Cochem restaurant, it was excellent, authentic German food. We also walked across the bridge to take photos of the church, as well as photos of the town from the bridge.

    Dear Erika, German white wine from the Mosel are usually medium- dry or medium-sweet or can be very sweet. The nice thing is they are usually lower in alcohol than other wines. Sometimes as low as 6-7-8-9 % alcohol by volume. I enjoy your videos a lot

    I was there about 6 month ago, I think that Burg Cochem has the best interior in a castle I’ve seen so far, but the title of the Best Castle in general goes to Burg Eltz without a question, it’s just about 15 km away from Cochem and definitely worth a visit! Edit: as I was there I walked through this climbing-path-thingy as well, and some similar paths that lead to the monastery (or it’s the one you took idk :D) but I personally absolutely LOVE this kind of narrow hill path, especially with this view on the part of the town that looks pretty ugly if you walk through it, but from above it looks pretty sweet, (idk if you walked through this part of Cochem, but I’m pretty sure a lot of those buildings where half timbered houses, just like in the lower part of the town, but with those very ugly 1970 and 1980 Fassade which looks like you throw cement at the buildings and didn’t care how the end result looks :D)

    As above average sunny cities I would recommend you Freiburg. It's a really beautiful and not to big city with cute canals and old buildings. It also has a University so there are many bars, cafes, clubs and young people. Another sunny region would be the one reaching from Heidelberg to Freiburg along the Rhine and the German-French border. It's a really beautiful region too with many wineyards, old cities and the Schwarzwald. The Schwarzwald is a big national park and really nice to go hiking in Summer or skiing in the Winter. Hope I could help you ^^ I myself am btw. from Germany, although not from that region but I've been there a few times.
