23 Places Where Cruises Dock Right Into a Fairytale Village
18. Cochem, Germany: Riverside Romance on the Moselle
A classic gem on Moselle River cruises, Cochem embodies German fairytale charm. The town is dramatically dominated by the magnificent Reichsburg Castle, perched majestically on a vine-clad hill overlooking the river. Below, a charming tangle of half-timbered houses, wine taverns, and narrow, winding streets invites exploration. Stroll along the river promenade, sample local Riesling wines, and soak in the romantic atmosphere. The combination of the stunning castle, picturesque townscape, and vineyard-covered slopes makes Cochem feel like a scene lifted directly from the Brothers Grimm.
