Bengel

Bengel is located near the Moselle valley between Trier and Koblenz. The picturesque vineyards on the hills are a characteristic feature of this area. In Bernkastel-Wittlich you will find numerous historic buildings with half-timbered architecture from the 17th century.

Sights relevant to tourism include Malberg Castle or Arras Castle near Alf on the Moselle. Culture enthusiasts should definitely check out the Machern Monastery Museum or attend a performance at the Trier Theatre.

A highlight is also the annual wine festival in Bernkastel-Kues in September as well as the Midsummer Wine Festival on the last weekend in June in Wittlich - both offer delicious local specialities such as Riesling wine and regional dishes.

Culinarily, this region has a lot to offer: Try Saumagen (a Palatinate speciality), for example, or enjoy fresh fish from the Moselle region.

The best seasons for outdoor activities are spring to autumn; hiking along the Eifelsteig trail or cycling through the vineyards are popular activities here. A boat trip on the Moselle is also an unforgettable experience.

When it rains, there are also indoor activities such as visiting museums or theatre performances.

Where is the most beautiful? That depends on individual preferences, of course - but the vantage points in Bernkastel-Kues offer breathtaking views over the Moselle landscape and are definitely worth a visit.
