Source
The longest tributary of the Rhine River starts in the Vosges Mountains in France. The river forms the border between Luxembourg and Germany for a short stretch, then meanders through a deep valley between wooded hills and vineyards to the city of Koblenz, where it joins the Rhine.
Mosel Wine
In addition to its striking scenery, the Moselle is known as an excellent wine-producing region. Vineyards cultivated by generations of wine growers blanket the river's banks. Varieties of grapes cultivated in the area include Riesling and Elbling.
Landscape
Along the most scenic stretches picture-book villages, where time seems to have stood still, huddle beneath romantic castle ruins. Excellent hiking paths marked by an "M" lead through forests, vineyards and medieval villages along the river. Travelers should take the time to walk up to Burg Eltz, a picturesque castle crowning a hill between Koblenz and Trier.
