History (for those who are interested :-)

Franconian grave finds show Beilstein's settlement around 800 AD. The place had been a feudal possession of the Lords of Braunshorn since 1268. Under Johann von Braunshorn (1299–1346), Beilstein received city privileges from King Henry VII in 1309 and was fortified. A Jewish community has been documented since 1309, and its Jewish cemetery above the castle still exists today. The former parish church was founded in 1310. After the von Braunshorn family died out, the fief passed to the von Winneburg family in 1360. After Kurtrier took possession of Beilstein in 1488, the Imperial Counts of Metternich enfeoffed the rule of Winneburg and Beilstein in 1652. In 1689, Metternich Castle (“The Proud Walls”) was destroyed by French troops. A Carmelite monastery was founded in 1636 (abolished in 1803), and the foundation stone of the Carmelite monastery church was laid in 1691, which was completed in 1783. The townscape was created in the 17th and 18th centuries and has largely been preserved to this day. The rule of the Imperial Counts of Metternich ended in 1794 with the occupation by French revolutionary troops. From 1798 to 1814 the place belonged to the canton of Zell in the Rhine-Moselle department and was the main town of a Mairie. In 1815 the place was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna and belonged to the Senheim mayor's office in the Zell district. It has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946.

Very long loop. Also very beautiful. What is a bit annoying: the road is quite close and sometimes noisy.

September 24, 2023,Zum Walnussfest nach Ernst

A sunny day should be waiting for us today. And so it was. After a foggy morning, the sun came out in the morning. Today we were properly dressed and didn't have to be cold. From Mesenich we went to Ernst on the opposite side. We saw advertising for a walnut market there yesterday. Was very promising. We wanted to …

The warm sun this afternoon has lessened a bit, so it's time to take a short bike ride at the beginning of the evening.
On to Beilstein. On arrival, the pound at Beilstein appears to be already closed 😞
That's bad luck for us.
Now there are 2 options:
- cycle the same way back
- by cycling to the …

On the last day of vacation we cycled from Senheim to Cochem and back. We already knew the route from the Moselle Cycle Path 2019. Many pretty little towns are lined up along the river. Zell did it to us the most.

The water level of the Moselle is still quite high. Some trees 🌳 still have wet feet. The tarred bike paths are free and cleared again.
In Cochem and Beilstein we had to push our bikes for a while because of the many visitors.

Nice round trip from Cochem to Senheim and back. You should only do the tour the other way round if you want to take a nice break in a cafe or bar right by the water on the way back. The better options are on the south side of the Moselle in the small towns right by the water.

Another enjoyable short bike ride today. Enjoying the special atmosphere of Metternich Castle with a wine spritzer in beautiful Beilstein. Highly recommended.
