Even from the vineyards, you have a magnificent view of Bernkastel-Kues. Anyone who wants to see the entire Moselle loop must head to Landshut Castle.

The St. Anne Chapel and the Stations of the Cross date back to 1890 and are designed in the Neo-Gothic style. A huge mosaic on the back of the chapel wall, which also marks the 14th station and the end of the Stations of the Cross, is absolutely worth seeing.

The square is characterized by its unique grace and dignity, setting it apart from other market squares in Germany, as it combines attractive coziness with carefree cheerfulness, thus becoming the town's living room. It also serves as its ballroom, the focal point and heart of its life. The 400-year-old half-timbered houses, the Renaissance Town Hall (1608), the St. Michael's Fountain (1606), and the much-admired, charming "Pointed House" (1416) reflect the living poetry of the Middle Ages. The filigree work of the fountain grille, the ornaments and colorful beam drawings in the half-timbering of the houses, and the ornate weather vanes on the roof gables still bear eloquent witness to the town's former prosperity and history.

A very beautiful little town, both in summer and winter. Beautiful half-timbered houses, narrow streets, the opportunity to take a boat trip on the Moselle, and hike to the castle ruins. There's no chance of getting bored here.
