Lo mejor de Cochem-Zell

Landkreis Cochem-Zell: Absolute Essentials

Landkreis Cochem-Zell features a dense concentration of medieval architecture and modern engineering along the Moselle River. Highlights include the impeccably preserved Eltz Castle, the 360-meter-long Geierlay suspension bridge, and the Cold War-era Bundesbank bunker designed to store emergency currency. The region is defined by its historical fortifications, from the 12th-century ruins of Metternich and Coraidelstein to the hilltop Burg Arras, alongside panoramic viewpoints like Pinnerkreuz, accessible via the Cochem chairlift.
