St. Castor’s Collegiate Church (the Mosel Cathedral), Treis-Karden

Highlight • Religious Site

With its Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque stylistic elements, the building is one of the most significant sacred art buildings on the Mosel in terms of art history.
And definitely worth a visit.

January 6, 2024,Aufstieg zum Castor Blick 🤠 – Runde von Treis-Karden

First little tour in the new year back home🤠. I'm starting to think that there is no blue sky in Germany anymore😳. Tour was nice, with lots of small paths. There was even a Christmas elves trail 🎄

Today was the first day of our traditional sibling hiking week. 👨👩👨

This year we're headed to the Moselle, between the dream hiking regions of the Hunsrück and the Volcanic Eifel.

We set up our base camp in Treis-Karden. From here, we plan to explore the region over the next few days. 😉

You can also make your way back through the vineyards and along the already familiar Lenus-Mars path.
We walked along the street on the footpath/cycle path. It's about 2 km. It was OK.
Karden is a beautiful old town with houses, some of which are Romanesque in origin. The history of the monastery district is interesting.

May 14, 2023,Opferplatz der Kelten – Lenus-Mars Weg Runde von Treis-Karden

On the way back from the Geierley suspension bridge, we made a short stop at the Moselle. A really beautiful area. The mountains almost look a bit badly programmed due to their dramatic shape. From there, almost every mountain within reach of the grapevines can be hiked. The infrastructure with shelters and rest stops is also great. We only looked …

Strenuous, but beautiful. On Martberg, in the reconstructed temple complex, there's a small café open on weekends, where we enjoyed a delicious slice of cake and a cup of coffee 🍰☕️
