The area has many tourist attractions to offer. One of the highlights are the castles of Eltz and Cochem, which give an insight into Germany's medieval history. The Maria Martental monastery is also a special highlight - it was built as early as the 12th century and impresses with its architecture as well as its spiritual character.
For culture enthusiasts, there are numerous museums such as the "Wine Museum" or also the "Local History Museum", where you can learn more about the local history.
Culinary Altlay also has a lot to offer: Be sure to try the regional Riesling wine as well as traditional dishes such as Saumagen or Leberknödeln - your taste buds will be delighted!
If you prefer outdoor activities, then be sure to lace up your hiking boots or bring your bike! There are many different routes to choose from - whether along the Moselle River or through the green hills of the surrounding area - you can actively relax here! It's also worth taking a trip to the Rheinböllen Wildlife Park - a real highlight, especially for families with children.
Even if the weather doesn't cooperate for once, there's plenty to do in Altlay. For example, visit the "Vulkaneifel Therme" or relax in the indoor swimming pool of Cochem-Zell.
Where is the most beautiful? That depends entirely on what you are looking for! The vineyards and river landscape are definitely a feast for the eyes - especially at autumn time when the leaves change colour. But also in summer, you can relax here wonderfully and let your eyes wander over the valley.
Overall, Altlay is definitely worth a visit - whether for those interested in culture, outdoor fans or epicures - everyone gets their money's worth here!
