Cochem

Last Monday we traveled with the local church group to Cochem, Germany. It is a wonderful little town on the Mosel River, home to some wonderful Riesling wine. As you can see, the castle sits on a nice hill, which has great views of the Mosel River valley.


We took a tour of the castle, which was pretty neat. It was rebuilt a while back, so not nearly as old as our local castles, but in much better condition.


After the tour we stopped at a little cafe for some ice cream, beer, and "federweisser" (new, partially-fermented wine).


We also toured the town of Cochem. Those old German towns are just amazing. Ian and Leah had a good time, especially at some of these older places. Like this place below, just a random tower in a vineyard near the castle. I have no idea how old this tower was, but it made a perfect "kids club". Just ask Ian!


Tschuss!
