Travel back in time to enjoy what it must have been like to be a guest of the Lord of the Manor! The journey begins with a tour of the castle, meticulously restored, with all the things you hope to see in a castle. The metal armour of the guards, magnificent sitting and dining rooms, artwork and secret doors to hidden passageways... The tour guides were very passionate about the history, and the stories, although in German, the English tour sheets provided an excellent translation and keepsake. And then the feast began... I won't spoil it for you, you must experience it for yourself!!
Private tour of Castle in English. Our guide was friendly and answered all our questions and we were a group of 24. If your in Cochem, don't leave until you have seen the castle upfront and personal. The views are just spectacular over the Mosel river!
This castle located high above the town offers a wonderful view of the city and the magnificent river Mosel. On the way you will see several schools and parrerais very well maintained.
Among all the castle tours I've had from all my travels my whole life, this one's the one that I enjoyed the most. The guide is very patient, friendly and very entertaining. I love everything about this castle, in and out. The exhibits are awesome, the view is awesome - it's such an awesome experience! It's reasonably priced compared to other castles in Germany as it just costs 5 euro per adult. Tour goes on every 10 minutes and that fact - I love cause the others would make you wait for almost an hour.There's a resto annexed to it so food is just beyond reach. We took the path from the city center on the way to it then the stairs behind the castle on the way back and it's such an awesome experience. You'll get to see Cochem city in different views. And it's all beautiful!
It's a nice walk for about 20 minutes from the main centre. You get a great view of Cochem from up here. The castle itself is a gem, with a great tour -- it was in German but there was an English translation on paper, and the tour guide sometimes told jokes in English, which was pretty sweet. Cool place with lots of interesting stories to tell!
take a slow walk up to the Burg.Steep climb but worth it.take your time and join a guided tour, it shows a little of the local history.
My family of four (teenagers) did this tour and were really surprised. Firstly were we lucky enough to get an English tour as the other German speaking visitors wanted to brush up on their English - so that made it easier for us to enjoy the full extent of the tour ( otherwise a sheet in English is offered to read as you tour) There was lots of furnishings inside the castle to see and the commentary was informative and interesting. It is definitely worth a visit. Tours take about 40 mins. It is a steep 20 minute walk up to the castle or you can catch a taxi up there for about 5 euro. Ps. I loved out 2 day stay in Cochem. It has lots of little shops, great cafés and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. Would choose this over Trier anytime.
A fascinating tour of the castle. I took the shorter walk up that goes around the back of the hill and the longer, more picturesque, walk back that goes around the front of the hill. I enjoyed the visit but it was a shame that there was no English whatsoever spoken on the tour, only German. Those of us who spoke English (there were several) were given sheets with some printed info but it was very limited and it became somewhat frustrating that the spoken commentary was obviously so much fuller and it was a shame not to be able to share in the jokes and lighter moments. It would have been nice to have had some of the points added in English to make one feel more a part of the group.
We went here round lunchtime and had an excellent tour which was even done on English for us and many of the group who were English speakers. The few Germans on the tour graciously agreed as they wanted to improve there English. Wish we could speak that much German! It was a good tour to fill an hour with a great vista above Cochem!!
We visit Cochem on the Mosel River every year! When I do I usually take a tour of the Caste.We never get tired of the Reichsburg and always discover something new. Either on the walk up or while there like having coffee and cake on the Terrace. The view is lovely.
