Sheldon and Geni's 2024 Rhine-Mosel Trip
Today is: September 19
We woke up in:

Bernkastel

   

Geni: Continued cruising along the Mosel River and docked at Bernkastel. We went on a wine tassting tour with the group. Later we walked up to castle ruins (Burgruine Landshut). It was a steep walk up to the castle It was not open to the public, but the view was great. Their language has French influences because it is so close to France. We were told people go to France to eat and go here to shop because France is more expensive.

 


Notice how steep the vinyards are

One of the many locks

Some of the bridges were so low that the captain had to lower the pilot house in order to clear

Winery where we had a tasting


Lots of shopping


If you got caught with a minor issue, you would be chained to the wall where all the towns people would see you shamed

Climbed up to this castle and took several photos
