Cathedral of Trier
The Moselle region has the longest cultural and winegrowing tradition in Germany. It is shaped by the river Moselle and two of its tributaries, the Saar and the Ruwer. The Moselle rises in the southern Vosges mountains in France and meanders through France, Luxembourg and Germany for a total of 545 kilometres before flowing into the Rhine at Koblenz. The German stretch of the Moselle cuts its way between two sets of highlands, the Eifel and the Hunsrück. Lying in a protected valley, the Moselle region has one of the mildest climates in Germany.
Historical Market Place Trier
This remarkable landscape is characterised by neatly terraced, steep vineyard slopes, slate, sandstone and the twists and turns of the Moselle. The vineyards are often dizzyingly steep and trap the sun that gives the wine its intensity and flavour.
Moselle-Saar-Ruwer Rieslings are some of the best in the world. Wine tasting and guided tours of vineyards and wine cellars are an opportunity for visitors to enjoy wine and learn about winegrowing at the same time. The grape harvest and the countless festivals celebrated throughout the year attract large numbers of people to the Moselle region.
Roman Bath in Trier
Way back in history the Moselle region captured the imagination of the Romans, who had a maxim "Ubi bene - ibi patria" (Where one feels good, there is one's country). They settled along the Moselle for an extended period and Trier became a magnificent imperial seat and the capital of the western Roman Empire.
Visitors today still come across the many legacies and reminders of the era. For instance, wine, introduced and cultivated here by the Romans, and the monumental architecture in Trier (UNESCO world heritage), such as the Porta Nigra, the amphitheatre and the remarkable imperial baths.
