As much as I loved the charm of this area, I do have to concede that at a point all of the quaint little villages start looking alike :) Another bonus of sticking to 1 home base I suppose. Anyway after our trip to the castle we headed to Bernkastel-Kues for our last night on the Mosel. It was a cute, decent-sized town, not a bad 2nd to Cochem as far as evening activities goes. And it wasn't nearly as crowded. But its much further south, which makes a bigger difference on the Mosel because the river is so windy it can take a LONG time to get just a bit further south. Anyway, we enjoyed this town. Nice shopping, good restaurants, still plenty of Federweiser....we stayed in a hotel called the
Hotel Doctor Weinstuben. It had a lot of character in the lobby etc, but 1. we stayed in an annex across the street which was newer and not as charming (but perfectly adequate, fairly roomy room), and 2. it was more expensive than I felt it was worth. Maybe in a lower season it would have seemed like more of a bargain. But I dn't really have a lot to complain about re: the hotel. Nice location, really cool interior, nice outdoor terrace, but too expensive. (they were I think 102 euros for the night) They have some nice deal prices for wintertime though.
