Tucked away in the far west of Germany is the charming medieval village of Cochem along the Mosel River. There’s a castle on a hill, beautiful houses with traditional German architecture, and more Riesling than you can shake a stick at. Is this a fairy tale? No, but it’s pretty damn close.
I visited Cochem as often as I could while living in Amsterdam, 3 times in total. It’s impossible not to love this place. There are endless amazing things to do and see in Cochem and in this post we will go through everything you need to know for a perfect trip to this underrated region of Europe!
