The city
What to expect from Cochem.
Cochem is a small town of just over 5,000 inhabitants on the banks of the Mosela, at the foot of the Reichsburg, the castle rebuilt in a 19th-century neo-Gothic style. The market square has half-timbered houses and the baroque town hall. A chairlift rises to the Pinnerkreuz viewpoint, and Burg Eltz, a medieval castle that has belonged to the same family for centuries, is about half an hour away.
