The small winegrowing village with only a few inhabitants is often referred to as the "Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle". Its narrow alleys, historic half-timbered houses, and picturesque location between vineyards and the Moselle give the place a very special charm. When strolling through the winding alleys, you will discover numerous buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, which have preserved the medieval flair of the village to this day. Beilstein is one of the best-preserved historical townscapes in the Moselle region.

A stunning view of Beilstein and the Moselle Valley from Metternich Castle. It's worth climbing the 25-meter-high keep of the castle ruins or simply relaxing in the castle garden and enjoying the beautiful view.
