Traben - Trarbach

---

4 May 2009

It has been a subject of debate over the last few days whether we should continue the trip along the Rhine or Mosel river. In the end we chose the Mosel and what a good decision it was!

We first drove south along the Rhine to Koblenz and then turned south west along the Mosel. The road runs alongside the river for mile after mile as it winds along most attractively with vineyards clinging to the steep hills on both sides.

We stopped the night at Traben - Trarbach, a twin town on both banks of the river. A stroll around the towns was followed by a steep walk up to the local ruined castle, Grevenburg from where we had magnificent views of this section of the river.
