• Koblenz where the Rhine meets the Mosel and home to the Deutsche Ecke (the German Corner) and the Koblenz ruins and castles.
  
• Cochem offers great sight-seeing opportunities including the Machern Monastery, Eltz Castle and Ehrenburg Palace. Make sure to spend some time in the Old Town and go to the Reichsburg Castle and take the ten minute drive to Alf. Consider staying at the Arras Castle for a romantic few days.
• Beilstein, smaller then Cochem, is often a favorite overnight stay if you are traveling by car, visit the Abbey of the Barefoot Carmelites and relax in Beilstein's pleasant atmosphere.
• Zell is an idyllic town on the Mosel river with several remains from Roman times includling the Round Tower, the Roman baths and the elector's castle built in 1320.
• Bernkastel-Keus, considered the heart of the Mosel region, produces some excellent wines and offers great restaurants and lodging.
• Piesport always seems to have a glow about it - perhaps it is the great Piesporter wines. If you are a wine afficionado, make sure you see the Roman Wine Press here - not quite the same as today.
• Neumagen-Dhron is the oldest wine town on the Mosel and has a Roman wine ship that is a must-see if you are stopping here.
• Trier, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is home to Porta Nigra (former gates to the city), Roman baths and ruins, historic churches and cathedrals, and hosts several wine and food festivals every year.
• Nennig is home to Thorn Castle and Roman mosaic, and is yet one more relaxed, charming town on your route.
