Einführung
Show in list
A month has passed. In the meantime we traveled twice in the big bus. We were on the Riviera of Flowers and in Slovenia (travel diary from my work on the FB page: Andrea traveling with tour groups). But now we are looking forward to being able to travel in our little bus again shortly before the season starts. The order situation makes it possible. However, it will only be a short tour. I call it: “Off to spring”. It should go to where Germany has a better climate: the Moselle.
The fridge is full. The bikes are stowed at the rear. We are ready. - So let's get going!

Nürnberg - Impressionen
Show in list
We were able to use the waiting time thanks to the free use of the mobile home dealer - Smart. Cute car.” Despite the fact that the Smart is so tiny, we had a hard time finding a parking space in Nuremberg. We were right next to the city wall. It wasn't far into the city center.
The cityscape of the once Free Imperial City is characterized by medieval architecture such as the fortress walls and towers of the old town. On the northern edge of the old town, the Imperial Castle rises above the red tiled roofs. The main market in the city center is home to the partially gilded, multi-tiered Schöne Brunnen and the 14th-century Gothic Frauenkirche.
But since we were kind of on hold, we didn't really have the time to look at everything. Because there was also time to return. And we wanted to drive a little further.
Since it was after lunchtime, we didn't get past the Nuremberg bratwursts. The woman at the sausage stand put so much mustard on it that eating it was no longer enjoyable. My scarf looked like this afterwards, so I left it straight away in Nuremberg.

Reisemobilpark Treviris
Show in list
Our next parking space is near Trier and has the historical name Treviris.
The Moselle got its name from the Celts, who built the first settlements here. They named the river Mosea.
The most important Celtic tribe were the Treveri.
As the Romans advanced further and further under Caesar, they also occupied the Moselle region and the conquered area became a Roman province.
After initial rebellion and many fights between Romans and Treveri, the Celtic tribe finally submitted to the conquerors.
The most important Roman metropolis on the Moselle was Trier, founded by Emperor Augustus as "Augusta Treverorum" in 16 BC. Trier is considered the oldest city on German soil, which is proven by many stone evidence from Roman times.
In Mosella they latinized the Celtic name for the river, which served them as an important shipping route and whose banks seemed tailor-made for wine-growing areas.

By the way, they are all amateur players who pursue their professions during the day - most of them work in viticulture. Wine also plays the main role in the operetta. The year is 1780, and the winemakers in the Churcöln district of Zeltingen-Rachtig are rebelling against their sovereign, the Elector of Cologne. They no longer want to pay the tithe, which has to be paid every year in the form of wine from the excellent Zeltinger vineyards “Zeltinger Himmelreich, Schloßberg Sonnenuhr and Deutschherrenberg”.

Many towns boast ancient Celtic Roman and princely history and relics from times long past. And the vineyards keep passing by. In the "Ostrich Farms" you can try the good wine from the well-known vineyards or quench your thirst with grape juice.
At Perl the river crosses the German border and from here the Moselle cycle path can be completed over 239 predominantly asphalted and flat kilometers. The bike tours lead along the Moselle on the right and left of the bank, and in some cases both sides can even be cycled at the same time.
The cycle route is a typical river cycle path with no significant gradients. The German part is led along asphalted cycle paths, either on its own route or alongside the road, and is therefore also suitable for families.
Those interested could cycle on the Moselle cycle path from the source in the French Vosges to the mouth in Koblenz in 10 days.

The two bears look playful and cute on the fountain on Graacher Straße. They cavort on a massive trough of basalt lava.
According to legend, Bernkastel got its name from a bear and therefore has Master Petz in the city's coat of arms.
In addition, there has been a fountain near the current location since 1584, the pump of which was decorated with a bear.

Was hat die Katze an der Mosel zu suchen?
Show in list
It is the landmark of Zell (Mosel). The “Schwarze Katz” is one of the most famous vineyards on the Moselle.
It is said that in 1863, wine merchants in Zell could not decide between three barrels after an extensive wine tasting. When a black cat came into the wine cellar, jumped onto one of the barrels and “defended” it with a hiss, this was the one chosen. The sales of this wine were such a success that they later bought all the wines from the corresponding vineyard. The location then received its name Black Cat.
In 1936, a monument was erected in Zell's old town with a fountain in honor of the location and the black cat.
Since August 2012, the Zell landmark has also been located in the newly designed traffic roundabout at the entrance to Zell.

The parish church of St. Peter and Paul from 1786 also survived the fire.

Alken is dominated by a mighty castle. Thurant Castle, with its two large keep, still stands imposingly above the village on the river bank.
Alken is certainly older than the medieval castle that was built in 1197 by Count Palatine Heinrich, the brother of King Otto VI. He had just returned from a crusade to Europe and named the building "Thuron" after a fortress in Syria that he had tried in vain to storm. The Moselle Castle, in turn, was besieged by the troops of the Electors of Cologne and Trier in 1246-1248. She was bombarded with projectiles from the Bleidenberg opposite and finally had to surrender. The archbishops divided the castle between themselves and built two keeps and a dividing wall.

In 1897 a monumental event took place here
Equestrian statue of the first German Emperor Wilhelm I was erected, which was designed as a monument to the founding of the German Empire in 1871. The monument was in the tradition of many monuments erected in German-speaking countries between 1888 and 1918.
The monument is 37 meters high, with 14 meters being the equestrian statue, and the bronze statue weighs 63.5 tons.
It is based on the plans of the architect Bruno Schmitz. He is also represented by the Kaiser Wilhelm monument at the Porta Westfalica, the Kyffhäuser monument and the Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig.
The base of the statue, which was badly damaged in World War II, served as a memorial to German unity from 1953 to 1990.
The statue was lifted onto the base on September 2, 1993 by the largest mobile lattice boom crane in Europe.
You can climb stairs in the monument and have a beautiful view of the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle.

The Schängel is a name for the boys born in Koblenz.
The term Schängel comes from the time when Koblenz was part of the French Republic for 20 years, from 1794 to 1814. Schängel were originally the children of German mothers of French descent. The most common name at the time was Hans or Johann, which corresponds to the French Jean. However, the people of Koblenz had difficulty pronouncing Jean in French, and in the dialect of the people of Koblenz it became Schang. Over time, this developed into Schängel, Hänschen. At first it was considered a swear word. Today, however, anyone born in Koblenz can proudly call themselves a Schnangel.

Air raids during World War II destroyed almost 90% of Koblenz. In 1944, British bombers reduced the city center to rubble. - This is of course noticeable in the cityscape.
Once you have found Koblenz's old town, it creates an atmospheric picture with its romantic winding streets, picturesque courtyards and small, cozy squares where numerous cafés invite you to linger.

Mittelrhein - Impressionen
Show in list
The Rhine is a river almost 1,233 km long and one of the busiest waterways in the world. The source area (Hinterrhein and Vorderrhein) of the Rhine is in Switzerland, its mouth reaches the North Sea in the Netherlands, of which it is the richest tributary.
We drive through part of the
"Middle Rhine", the 130 kilometer long section of the Rhine between Bingen and Bonn, one of the most important cultural landscapes in Germany.
The river valley, in which around 450,000 people live, is bordered by the Hunsrück and Eifel in the west and by Taunus, Westerwald and Siebengebirge in the east.
Characteristic of its man-made landscape are the vineyards but also numerous hilltop castles, monuments and the winding, old towns and villages on the narrow bank.
Cultural wealth and natural beauty have made the Middle Rhine Valley a tourist destination and the epitome of Rhine romanticism since the 19th century.
The tourism industry markets the southern part of the Middle Rhine from Bingen and Rüdesheim to Koblenz as the “Valley of the Loreley”. This section of the river was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002 as the Upper Middle Rhine Valley Cultural Landscape.

Am "Loreley - Blick"
Show in list
we stay overnight.
The "Loreley Blick" - extremely expensive (23.50 euros) - but really strong!!! It's a shame it's raining...
The parking space is quite spacious. It is located between Oberwesel and St. Goar (also ideal for exploring the neighboring towns by bike). Due to the location on the road and railway line, there is a lot of traffic. But where on the Rhine you don't have that...
The parking space scores points due to its location opposite the Loreley Rock. The shipping traffic on the Rhine is very impressive. Especially here at the bottleneck.
The reception and a small kiosk are located in the house. The price includes a 10% discount, which can be redeemed at a nearby restaurant if consumed. The price includes electricity, waste disposal, fresh water and sanitary facilities (very clean), which can be found along the length of the site.
At the Loreley itself, the Rhine was 160 meters wide and up to 25 meters deep. These are the narrowest and deepest parts of the Rhine in its navigable section. The Rhine winds through the rock massif in tight curves. Because of these very tight curves and strong currents, navigation on the Rhine is regulated by light signals. Some rocks on the Loreley were blown up in the 1930s, so that the Loreley passage has lost much of its former danger.
Heinrich Heine:
I don't know what does it mean
that I am so sad;
a fairy tale from ancient times,
I can't get that out of my mind.
The air is cool and it's getting dark,
and the Rhine flows calmly;
The peak of the mountain sparkles
in the evening sunlight.
The most beautiful maiden sits
wonderful up there;
her golden attire glances,
She combs her golden hair.
She combs with a golden comb
and sings a song;
that has a miraculous,
powerful melody.
The skipper in the small ship
seizes it with wild woe;
he doesn't look at the rocky reefs,
he just looks up into the sky.
I think, the waves devour
at the end boatman and boat;
and that has to do with her singing
the Lore-Ley done.

Day 1
Einführung
Ein Monat ist vergangen. In der Zwischenzeit waren wir 2 mal im großen Bus unterwegs. Wir waren an der Blumenriviera und in Slowenien (Reisetagebuch von meiner Arbeit auf der FB-Seite: Andrea auf Reisen mit Reisegruppen). Aber jetzt freuen wir uns noch mal, kurz bevor die Saison beginnt, mit unserem kleinen Bus unterwegs sein zu können. Die Auftragslage macht es möglich. Alllerdings wird es nur eine kleine Tour. Ich nenne sie: “Ab in den Frühling”. Es soll dorthin gehen, wo Deutschland klimatisch bevorzugt wird: an die Mosel.
Der Kühlschrank ist voll. Die Fahrräder sind am Heck verstaut. Wir sind bereit. - Also nix wie los!

Nürnberg - Impressionen
Die Wartezeit konnten wir, Dank der kostenlosen Nutzung, des Wohnmobilhändler - Smart nutzen. Niedliches Auto"chen”. Trotz, dass der Smart so winzig ist, haben wir nur schwer in Nürnberg einen Parkplatz gefunden. Wir standen direkt an der Stadtmauer. Es war nicht weit in den Innenstadtbereich.
Das Stadtbild der einst Freien Reichsstadt ist von mittelalterlicher Architektur wie den Festungsmauern und Türmen der Altstadt geprägt. Am Nordrand der Altstadt erhebt sich über den roten Ziegeldächern die Kaiserburg. Auf dem Hauptmarkt im Stadtzentrum befinden sich der teilweise vergoldete, mehrstufige Schöne Brunnen und die gotische Frauenkirche aus dem 14. Jahrhundert.
Aber, da wir ja irgendwie in der Warteschleife waren, hatten wir nicht so sehr die Musse uns alles anzuschauen. Weil auch die Zeit zur Rückkehr da war. Und ein Stück weiter wollten wir ja auch noch fahren.
Da es nach der Mittagszeit war, sind wir nicht an den Nürnberger Bratwürstchen vorbei gekommen. Die Frau vom Würstchenstand hat soviel Senf darauf gemacht, dass das Essen keine Freude mehr war. Mein Tuch sah danach so aus, dass ich es gleich in Nürnberg gelassen habe.

Unser Ziel: Bad Dürkheim
Endlich sind wir weggekommen und auf der A6 gen Westen gefahren. Stau - Stau - Stau. Eine totale Baustellenautobahn...
Wir sind bis nach Bad Dürkheim gefahren. Bad Dürkheim liegt im Herzen der Pfalz, am Rande des Pfälzer Waldes, in einer der schönsten Gegenden der Deutschen Weinstraße. Hier gibt es eine der längsten Gradierbauten Deutschlands, die mächtige Hardenburg und die Klosterruine Limburg. Das Dürkheimer Riesenfass sind neben dem Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt bedeutende Symbole für den Wein in Bad Dürkheim.
Bad Dürkheim ist auch für ein mildes Klima bekannt, was man auch an der Vegetation erkennt.

Reisemobilpark Treviris
Unser nächster Stellplatz ist bei Trier und hat den historischen Namen Treviris.
Ihren Namen hat die Mosel von den Kelten bekommen, die hier erste Siedlungen errichteten. Sie nannten den Fluss Mosea.
Der wichtigste Keltenstamm waren die Treverer.
Als die Römer unter Cäsar immer weiter vorrückten, besetzten sie auch die Moselregion und das eroberte Gebiet wurde römische Provinz.
Nach anfänglicher Auflehnung und vielen Kämpfen zwischen Römern und Treverern, unterwarf sich der keltische Stamm schließlich den Eroberern.
Die wichtigste Moselmetropole der Römer wurde Trier, von Kaiser Augustus als "Augusta Treverorum" im Jahre 16 vor Christus gegründet. Trier gilt damit als älteste Stadt auf deutschem Boden, was viele steinerne Zeugnisse aus römischer Zeit belegen.
Den keltischen Namen für den Fluss, der ihnen als wichtige Schifffahrtsstraße diente, und dessen Uferzonen ihnen als Weinanbaugebiete wie geschaffen schienen, latinisierten sie in Mosella.

Organisatorisches
zum Reisemobilstellplatz:
Großer, geräumiger Reisemobilstellplatz an der Mosel. Viel Grün. Durch die nahe Brücke ist etwas vom Straßenverkehr zu hören. Er ist gut anfahrbar. Wenn man die Schranke passiert, bekommt man eine Karte, die ist dann am Automat mit Geld aufzuladen, dann kann man die Einrichtungen wie Strom, FW etc. nutzen. Wenn man den Stellplatz verlässt, Karte in den Automat einführen, dann Restgeld bezahlen oder man bekommt was heraus.
Vom Stellplatz muss man ca. 4 km in das Stadtzentrum laufen, auch Spaziergänge entlang der Mosel bieten sich an. Wir haben für eine Nacht ca. 15,- Euro bezahlt, dabei war Strom, Entsorgung, Frischwasser, Dusche, WC.

Day 3
Moselimpressionen
Die Mosel entspringt in Frankreich, in den Vogesen, schlängelt sich vorbei an Hunsrück und Eifel und mündet schließlich nach 544 Kilometern Länge bei Koblenz in den Rhein. Sie ist der 2. längste Nebenfluss der Mosel
Die Mosel gilt als eine der abwechslungsreichsten und schönsten Flussregionen in Mitteleuropa.
Das deutsche Moseltal wird geprägt vom stark mäandernden Verlauf mit vielen Weinbergen an teils sehr steilen Hängen. Diese Charakteristik trägt zum Beinamen “liebliche Mosel” bei.
Weinberge, malerische Orte und der Fluss als eine wichtige Wasserstraße, auf dem reger Güter- und Personenverkehr herrscht, prägen das Bild der Landschaft.

Unser neuer Stellplatz
Wir erreichen unseren nächsten Stellplatz in Zeltingen-Rachtig. Er befindet sich im OT Zeltingen an der Moselbrücke, direkt im Ort,
an der Uferpromenade mit Sitzmöglichkeiten, Minigolf und Spaziermöglicheiten entlang der Mosel. Hier kann man schön die Mosel beobachten. Man zahlt pro Nacht 10,- Euro und hat unbegrenzt Strom. Entsorgen und Wasser auffüllen geht auch - perfekt. Bezahlung nur mit Geldkarte. Wenn Automat nicht geht, beim Minigolfplatz Barzahlung möglich. Etwas Autoverkehr von der nahen Brücke. Ideal für Fahrradausflüge.

Zeltingen
In Zeltingen dreht sich alles um den Wein. Es gibt allein 3 berühmte Weinlagen: Zeltinger Himmelreich, Schloßberg, Sonnenuhr, Deutschherrenberg
Und welches Dorf kann schon von sich behaupten, dass es seine eigene Operette hat? Zeltingen-Rachtig kann dies.
Zwar keine Operette von Weltruf, dafür aber ein Werk mit zündenden Melodien, das von den Zeltingen-Rachtiger Bürgern mit einer gehörigen Portion Mutterwitz, Humor und auch Selbstironie aufgeführt wird. Alles Laienspieler übrigens, die tagsüber ihren Berufen nachgehen - die meisten arbeiten im Weinbau. Der Wein spielt auch in der Operette die Hauptrolle. Man schreibt das Jahr 1780, und die Winzersleute im churcölnischen Oberamte Zeltingen-Rachtig begehren auf gegen ihren Landesherren, den Kurfürsten zu Cöln. Sie wollen den Zehnten nicht mehr zahlen, der alljährlich in Form von Wein aus den hervorragenden Zeltinger Weinlagen „Zeltinger Himmelreich, Schloßberg Sonnenuhr und Deutschherrenberg" zu erbringen ist.

Das ist die "gute Stube"
der Gemeinde. Hier stand bis Anfang der 70er Jahre das Rathaus. Nachdem es unbewohnbar war, wurde das Haus abgerissen und dieser Platz geschaffen. Ein Platz für viele Veranstaltungen in der Gemeinde und ganz wichtig: es ist die malerische Kulisse für die Moseloperette „Zeltinger Himmelreich”. Das linke Haus dürfte wohl das älteste Haus in Zeltingen sein, wie es die Jahreszahl im Giebel ausweist: 1527

entlang der Mosel ist äußerst populär.
Der Mosel Radweg wurde zu einem tiptop zu befahrenen Strecke ausgebaut.
Viele Ortschaften warten mit uralter keltischer römischer und churfürstlicher Geschichte und Relikte längst vergangener Zeiten auf. Und immer wieder ziehen die Weinberge vorbei. In den "Straußenwirtschaften" kann man den guten Tropfen der bekannten Weinlagen probieren oder sich mit Traubensaft den Durst stillen.
Bei Perl übertritt der Strom die deutsche Grenze und von hier aus kann der Mosel Radweg auf 239 überwiegend asphaltierten und ebenen Kilometern bewältigt werden. Dabei führen die Radtouren an der Mosel rechts und links des Ufers entlang, teilweise sind sogar beide Seiten zugleich befahrbar.
Die Radwanderroute ist ein typischer Flussradweg ohne nennenswerte Steigungen. Der deutsche Teil wird über asphaltierte Radwege, entweder auf eigener Trasse oder straßenbegleitend geführt und ist deshalb auch für Familien geeignet.
Interessierte könnten auf dem Mosel Radweg in 10 Tagen von der Quelle in den französischen Vogesen bis zur Mündung nach Koblenz fahren.

Unser Ziel
mit dem Fahrrad am Sonntag war das ca. 7 km entfernte Bernkastel-Kues. Die Stadt ist eines der beliebtesten Urlaubsziele an der Mosel und kann sich stolz „Zentrum der Mittelmosel“ nennen
Hier erlebt man die unvergleichliche Mosel-Atmosphäre einer malerischen Altstadt voller Geschichte und Kultur.
Bernkastel-Kues ist eines der ältesten Gebiete des deutschen Weinbaues und berühmt für seine Weinbergslagen.
In der Stadt Bernkastel-Kues sollte man etwas verweilen und die Fachwerkhäuschen um den Marktplatz herum auf sich wirken lassen.

Am Bärenbrunnen
kommen wir auch vorbei. Der Bärenbrunnen in Bernkastel Kues hat eine lange Geschichte. Bei einem Altstadtbummel ist der markante Brunnen mit den fast lebensgroßen Bären kaum zu übersehen. Verspielt und putzig wirken die beiden Bären auf dem Brunnen in der Graacher Straße. Sie tummeln sich auf einem massigen Trog aus Basalt-Lava.
Der Sage nach hat Bernkastel seinen Namen von einem Bären und trägt deshalb den Meister Petz im Stadtwappen.
Zudem gab es schon seit 1584 nahe dem heutigen Standort einen Brunnen, dessen Pumpe ein Bär zierte.

Das Moselufer,
Gestade genannt, wird beherrscht vom mächtigen Turm der Pfarrkirche St. Michael, der ursprünglich als hoher Wachtturm der Stadtbefestigung erbaut und erst später mit der Kirche verbunden wurde. Eindrucksvoll stehen auch eine Reihe von mächtigen Gründerzeitbauten aus dem vorigen Jahrhundert an der Moselfront und bezeugen den Reichtum der damals durch den Weinhandel aufblühenden Stadt.

So passieren wir auch Traben-Trabach

Traben-Trarbach ist das Juwel an der Mittelmosel. Einst wurden hier in Traben-Trarbach eifrig Weine gehandelt und die Stadt kam um die Jahrhundertwende zu Reichtum. Davon zeugen heute noch die großen Weinkeller und die großen und prachtvollen Jugendstilvillen.

Was hat die Katze an der Mosel zu suchen?
Sie ist das Wahrzeichen von Zell (Mosel). Die "Schwarze Katz" ist eine der bekanntesten Weinlagen an der Mosel.
Es wird erzählt, dass im Jahr 1863 Weinhändler in Zell sich nach einer ausgedehnten Weinprobe nicht zwischen drei Fässern entscheiden konnten. Als eine schwarze Katze in den Weinkeller kam, auf eines der Fässer sprang und dieses fauchend „verteidigte“, entschied man sich für dieses. Der Absatz dieses Weines war ein solcher Erfolg, dass sie später alle Weine der entsprechenden Weinbergslage aufkauften. Die Lage erhielt danach ihren Namen Schwarze Katz.
Im Jahr 1936 wurde in der Zeller Altstadt mit einem Brunnen ein Denkmal zu Ehren der Lage und der schwarzen Katze gesetzt.
Seit August 2012 steht das Zeller Wahrzeichen auch im neu gestalteten Verkehrskreisel am Ortseingang von Zell.

Die Innenstadt
Zwei Brände im 19. Jahrhundert vernichteten einen großen Teil der alten Bausubstanz. Zell wurde danach mit verbreiterten Straßen wieder aufgebaut und wirkt deshalb »städtischer« als die meisten Moselstädte.
Erhalten blieb damals unter anderem das »Haus Caspary« in der Balduinstraße, ein interessanter gotischer Bau, der 1515 für den kurtrierischen Amtmann Johann von Senheim errichtet wurde.
Auch die Pfarrkirche St. Peter und Paul von 1786 überstand die Feuersbrünste.

Es ist ein relativ gemütlicher, überschaubarer Platz an der Mosel.
Die Fahrzeuge stehen auf einer Rasenfläche. Das Kassenhaus steht gut sichtbar im Eingangsbereich. Der Platzwart kassiert und hat uns noch einige Infos gegeben. Ein Bistro befindet sich auf dem Gelände. Brötchenservice ist möglich. Für eine Nacht haben wir 12,50 Euro bezahlt. Die sanitären Einrichtungen kosten zusätzlich. Dann entschließt man sich lieber die Einrichtung im Wohnmobil zu nutzen. Denn entsorgen und Frischwasserzulauf ist ohne Probleme möglich.
Auch den Stromanschluss muss man mit 1 Euro Stücken füttern.

thront eine Burg über dem Ort.
Alken wird von einer mächtigen Burg beherrscht. Die Burg Thurant steht mit ihren zwei großen Bergfrieden immer noch imposant über dem Dorf am Flussufer.
Dabei ist Alken sicher älter als die mittelalterliche Burg, die vom Pfalzgrafen Heinrich, dem Bruder König Ottos VI., 1197 erbaut wurde. Er war gerade von einem Kreuzzug nach Europa zurückgekehrt und benannte den Bau nach einer Festung »Thuron« in Syrien, die er selber vergeblich zu erstürmen versucht hatte. Die Moselburg wiederum wurde 1246-1248 durch die Truppen der Kurfürsten von Köln und Trier belagert. Vom gegenüberliegenden Bleidenberg wurde sie mit Wurfgeschossen belegt und musste schließlich kapitulieren. Die Erzbischöfe teilten die Burg unter sich auf und errichteten zwei Bergfriede und eine Trennmauer.

Weiterfahrt zum Rhein
Wohnmobilstellplatz Braubach
Wir sind weiter an den Rhein gefahren und übernachten auf der Ostseite des Rheins.
Der größte Hit ist die Nähe zum Rhein. Wir schauen genau auf den Rhein. Vom Stellplatz kann man wunderbar Schiffchen schauen. Es ist ein wahrer Logenplatz. Viele Schiffe passieren den Rhein. Beeindruckend wie schnell die Schiffe Richtung Norden unterwegs sind. Über uns wacht die Marksburg. Auch die Altstadt ist nicht weit. Der Wermutstropfen: die stark befahrene Eisenbahnstrecke. Aber das haben wir für die Aussicht bewusst in Kauf genommen. Der Platz schaut sauber aus und ist asphaltiert. Am Eingang steht ein Häuschen, da bezahlt man am Automat 12 Euro die Nacht.
Auf dem Ticket steht dann der Pin für die kostenlose WC Benutzung. Duschen kostet nochmals Gebühr. Frischwasser ist für Übernachtungsgäste frei. Sonst 1,- Euro in den Vertrauensbriefkasten. Entsorgung auch möglich.

Die Marksburg wacht über Braubach.
Bekannt ist Braubach vor allem wegen ihres Wahrzeichens, der berühmten Marksburg. Auf einem Schieferfelsen in 150m Höhe throhnt sie über den verwinkelten Altstadtgassen und bewacht Braubach.
Nie wurde sie umkämpft oder belagert und wurde so zur einzigen Höhenburg am Rhein, die niemals durch Feinde zerstört wurde. Sie ist somit die am besten erhaltene Burg am Mittelrhein und dazu eine der meistbesuchten.

Das Denkmal ist 37 Meter hoch, wobei 14 Meter auf das Reiterstandbild entfallen, bei einem Gewicht der Bronzestatue von 63,5 Tonnen.
Es beruht auf den Plänen des Architekten Bruno Schmitz. Er ist auch durch m das Kaiser - Wilhelm - Denkmal an der Porta Westfalica, das Kyffhäuser - Denkmal und das Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig.

Der Koblenzer Schängel
wird hier geehrt.
Der Schängel ist eine Bezeichnung für die in Koblenz geborenen Jungs.
Der Begriff Schängel stammt aus der Zeit, als Koblenz 20 Jahre lang, von 1794 bis 1814 zur französischen Republik gehörte. Schängel waren ursprünglich die von Franzosen abstammenden Kinder deutscher Mütter. Der gängigste Name war damals Hans oder Johann, was dem französischen Jean entspricht. Die Koblenzer hatten aber Schwierigkeiten, Jean französisch auszusprechen, und in der Mundart der Koblenzer wurde daraus Schang. Mit der Zeit entwickelte sich hieraus Schängel, Hänschen. Anfangs galt dies eher als Schimpfwort. Heute jedoch darf jeder in Koblenz Geborene sich stolz ein Schängel nennen.

Mittelrhein - Impressionen
Der Rhein ist ein fast 1.233 km langer Strom und eine der verkehrsreichsten Wasserstraßen der Welt. Das Quellgebiet (Hinterrhein und Vorderrhein) des Rheins liegt in der Schweiz, seine Mündungsarme erreichen in den Niederlanden die Nordsee, deren wasserreichster Zufluss er ist.
Wir durchfahren einen Teil vom
"Mittelrhein", der 130 Kilometer lange Flussabschnitt des Rheins zwischen Bingen und Bonn, einer der eine der bedeutendsten Kulturlandschaften Deutschlands.
Das Flusstal, in dem rund 450.000 Menschen leben, wird begrenzt von Hunsrück und Eifel im Westen, von Taunus, Westerwald und Siebengebirge im Osten.
Charakteristisch für seine vom Menschen gestaltete Landschaft sind vor allem die Weinberge aber auch zahlreiche Höhenburgen, Denkmäler und die verwinkelten, alten Städte und Dörfer auf dem schmalen Ufersaum.
Kultureller Reichtum und natürliche Schönheit haben das Mittelrheintal seit dem 19. Jahrhundert zum Touristenziel und zum Inbegriff der Rheinromantik gemacht.
Die Fremdenverkehrsbranche vermarktet den südlichen Teil des Mittelrheins von Bingen und Rüdesheim bis Koblenz als „Tal der Loreley“. Als Kulturlandschaft Oberes Mittelrheintal wurde dieser Flussabschnitt 2002 zum UNESCO-Welterbe erklärt.

Am "Loreley - Blick"
übernachten wir.
Der "Loreley Blick" - schweine teuer (23,50 Euro) - aber sau stark!!! Schade, dass es regnet...
Der Stellplatz ist recht weitläufig angelegt. Er befindet zwischen Oberwesel und St. Goar (auch ideal gelegen, um die Nachbarorte per Fahrrad zu erkunden). Durch die Lage an Straße und Eisenbahnlinie reger Verkehr. Aber, wo hat man das am Rhein nicht...
Der Stellplatz punktet durch die Lage gegenüber vom Loreley - Felsen. Der Schiffverkehr auf dem Rhein ist sehr beeindruckend. Gerade hier an der Engstelle.
Im Haus ist die Rezeption und auch ein kleiner Kiosk untergebracht. Im Preis sind 10 % Rabatt enthalten, die man bei einer nahen Gaststätte bei Verzehr einlösen kann. Im Preis ist der Strom enthalten, die Entsorgung, Frischwasser und die sanitären Einrichtungen (sehr sauber), die über die Länge des Platzes zu finden sind.
Bei der Loreley selbst ist der Rhein 160 Meter breit und war bis zu 25 Meter tief. Dies sind die engsten und tiefsten Stellen des Rheins auf seinem schiffbaren Abschnitt. Der Rhein windet sich in engen Kurven durch das Felsmassiv. Wegen dieser sehr engen Kurven und starken Strömungen wird hier die Rheinschifffahrt durch Lichtsignale geregelt. Einige Felsen an der Loreley wurden in den 1930er Jahren gesprengt, sodass die Loreleypassage viel von ihrer früheren Gefährlichkeit verloren hat.
Heinrich Heine:
Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten,
dass ich so traurig bin;
ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten,
das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
Die Luft ist kühl und es dunkelt,
und ruhig fließt der Rhein;
der Gipfel des Berges funkelt
im Abendsonnenschein.
Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet
dort oben wunderbar;
ihr goldnes Geschmeide blitzet,
sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.
Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme
und singt ein Lied dabei;
das hat eine wundersame,
gewaltige Melodei.
Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe
ergreift es mit wildem Weh;
er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe,
er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh.
Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
am Ende Schiffer und Kahn;
und das hat mit ihrem Singen
die Lore-Ley getan.

er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh.
Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
am Ende Schiffer und Kahn;
und das hat mit ihrem Singen
die Lore-Ley getan.

Day 8
Heimfahrt
Die Nacht und auch heute regnet es besonders schlimm. So, dass wir uns entschließen, ohne noch einmal in Rüdesheim einen Stopp einzulegen, gleich nach Hause zu fahren. Wollten wir sowieso. Denn am Wochenende müssen wir wieder arbeiten.
Das Wohnmobil wird sicher abgestellt und sauber gemacht. Der Kühlschrank wird leer gemacht. Jetzt heißt es für längere Zeit "Ade".

Travelogue
Day 1
Einführung
Show in list
A month has passed. In the meantime we traveled twice in the big bus. We were on the Riviera of Flowers and in Slovenia (travel diary from my work on the FB page: Andrea traveling with tour groups). But now we are looking forward to being able to travel in our little bus again shortly before the season starts. The order situation makes it possible. However, it will only be a short tour. I call it: “Off to spring”. It should go to where Germany has a better climate: the Moselle.
The fridge is full. The bikes are stowed at the rear. We are ready. - So let's get going!

Nürnberg - Impressionen
Show in list
We were able to use the waiting time thanks to the free use of the mobile home dealer - Smart. Cute car.” Despite the fact that the Smart is so tiny, we had a hard time finding a parking space in Nuremberg. We were right next to the city wall. It wasn't far into the city center.
The cityscape of the once Free Imperial City is characterized by medieval architecture such as the fortress walls and towers of the old town. On the northern edge of the old town, the Imperial Castle rises above the red tiled roofs. The main market in the city center is home to the partially gilded, multi-tiered Schöne Brunnen and the 14th-century Gothic Frauenkirche.
But since we were kind of on hold, we didn't really have the time to look at everything. Because there was also time to return. And we wanted to drive a little further.
Since it was after lunchtime, we didn't get past the Nuremberg bratwursts. The woman at the sausage stand put so much mustard on it that eating it was no longer enjoyable. My scarf looked like this afterwards, so I left it straight away in Nuremberg.

Reisemobilpark Treviris

Our next parking space is near Trier and has the historical name Treviris.
The Moselle got its name from the Celts, who built the first settlements here. They named the river Mosea.
The most important Celtic tribe were the Treveri.
As the Romans advanced further and further under Caesar, they also occupied the Moselle region and the conquered area became a Roman province.
After initial rebellion and many fights between Romans and Treveri, the Celtic tribe finally submitted to the conquerors.
The most important Roman metropolis on the Moselle was Trier, founded by Emperor Augustus as "Augusta Treverorum" in 16 BC. Trier is considered the oldest city on German soil, which is proven by many stone evidence from Roman times.
In Mosella they latinized the Celtic name for the river, which served them as an important shipping route and whose banks seemed tailor-made for wine-growing areas.

Many towns boast ancient Celtic Roman and princely history and relics from times long past. And the vineyards keep passing by. In the "Ostrich Farms" you can try the good wine from the well-known vineyards or quench your thirst with grape juice.
At Perl the river crosses the German border and from here the Moselle cycle path can be completed over 239 predominantly asphalted and flat kilometers. The bike tours lead along the Moselle on the right and left of the bank, and in some cases both sides can even be cycled at the same time.
The cycle route is a typical river cycle path with no significant gradients. The German part is led along asphalted cycle paths, either on its own route or alongside the road, and is therefore also suitable for families.
Those interested could cycle on the Moselle cycle path from the source in the French Vosges to the mouth in Koblenz in 10 days.

The two bears look playful and cute on the fountain on Graacher Straße. They cavort on a massive trough of basalt lava.
According to legend, Bernkastel got its name from a bear and therefore has Master Petz in the city's coat of arms.
In addition, there has been a fountain near the current location since 1584, the pump of which was decorated with a bear.

Was hat die Katze an der Mosel zu suchen?
Show in list
It is the landmark of Zell (Mosel). The “Schwarze Katz” is one of the most famous vineyards on the Moselle.
It is said that in 1863, wine merchants in Zell could not decide between three barrels after an extensive wine tasting. When a black cat came into the wine cellar, jumped onto one of the barrels and “defended” it with a hiss, this was the one chosen. The sales of this wine were such a success that they later bought all the wines from the corresponding vineyard. The location then received its name Black Cat.
In 1936, a monument was erected in Zell's old town with a fountain in honor of the location and the black cat.
Since August 2012, the Zell landmark has also been located in the newly designed traffic roundabout at the entrance to Zell.

The parish church of St. Peter and Paul from 1786 also survived the fire.

Alken is dominated by a mighty castle. Thurant Castle, with its two large keep, still stands imposingly above the village on the river bank.
Alken is certainly older than the medieval castle that was built in 1197 by Count Palatine Heinrich, the brother of King Otto VI. He had just returned from a crusade to Europe and named the building "Thuron" after a fortress in Syria that he had tried in vain to storm. The Moselle Castle, in turn, was besieged by the troops of the Electors of Cologne and Trier in 1246-1248. She was bombarded with projectiles from the Bleidenberg opposite and finally had to surrender. The archbishops divided the castle between themselves and built two keeps and a dividing wall.

In 1897 a monumental event took place here
Equestrian statue of the first German Emperor Wilhelm I was erected, which was designed as a monument to the founding of the German Empire in 1871. The monument was in the tradition of many monuments erected in German-speaking countries between 1888 and 1918.
The monument is 37 meters high, with 14 meters being the equestrian statue, and the bronze statue weighs 63.5 tons.
It is based on the plans of the architect Bruno Schmitz. He is also represented by the Kaiser Wilhelm monument at the Porta Westfalica, the Kyffhäuser monument and the Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig.
The base of the statue, which was badly damaged in World War II, served as a memorial to German unity from 1953 to 1990.
The statue was lifted onto the base on September 2, 1993 by the largest mobile lattice boom crane in Europe.
You can climb stairs in the monument and have a beautiful view of the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle.

The Schängel is a name for the boys born in Koblenz.
The term Schängel comes from the time when Koblenz was part of the French Republic for 20 years, from 1794 to 1814. Schängel were originally the children of German mothers of French descent. The most common name at the time was Hans or Johann, which corresponds to the French Jean. However, the people of Koblenz had difficulty pronouncing Jean in French, and in the dialect of the people of Koblenz it became Schang. Over time, this developed into Schängel, Hänschen. At first it was considered a swear word. Today, however, anyone born in Koblenz can proudly call themselves a Schnangel.

Mittelrhein - Impressionen
Show in list
The Rhine is a river almost 1,233 km long and one of the busiest waterways in the world. The source area (Hinterrhein and Vorderrhein) of the Rhine is in Switzerland, its mouth reaches the North Sea in the Netherlands, of which it is the richest tributary.
We drive through part of the
"Middle Rhine", the 130 kilometer long section of the Rhine between Bingen and Bonn, one of the most important cultural landscapes in Germany.
The river valley, in which around 450,000 people live, is bordered by the Hunsrück and Eifel in the west and by Taunus, Westerwald and Siebengebirge in the east.
Characteristic of its man-made landscape are the vineyards but also numerous hilltop castles, monuments and the winding, old towns and villages on the narrow bank.
Cultural wealth and natural beauty have made the Middle Rhine Valley a tourist destination and the epitome of Rhine romanticism since the 19th century.
The tourism industry markets the southern part of the Middle Rhine from Bingen and Rüdesheim to Koblenz as the “Valley of the Loreley”. This section of the river was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002 as the Upper Middle Rhine Valley Cultural Landscape.

Am "Loreley - Blick"
Show in list
we stay overnight.
The "Loreley Blick" - extremely expensive (23.50 euros) - but really strong!!! It's a shame it's raining...
The parking space is quite spacious. It is located between Oberwesel and St. Goar (also ideal for exploring the neighboring towns by bike). Due to the location on the road and railway line, there is a lot of traffic. But where on the Rhine you don't have that...
The parking space scores points due to its location opposite the Loreley Rock. The shipping traffic on the Rhine is very impressive. Especially here at the bottleneck.
The reception and a small kiosk are located in the house. The price includes a 10% discount, which can be redeemed at a nearby restaurant if consumed. The price includes electricity, waste disposal, fresh water and sanitary facilities (very clean), which can be found along the length of the site.
At the Loreley itself, the Rhine was 160 meters wide and up to 25 meters deep. These are the narrowest and deepest parts of the Rhine in its navigable section. The Rhine winds through the rock massif in tight curves. Because of these very tight curves and strong currents, navigation on the Rhine is regulated by light signals. Some rocks on the Loreley were blown up in the 1930s, so that the Loreley passage has lost much of its former danger.
Heinrich Heine:
I don't know what does it mean
that I am so sad;
a fairy tale from ancient times,
I can't get that out of my mind.
The air is cool and it's getting dark,
and the Rhine flows calmly;
The peak of the mountain sparkles
in the evening sunlight.
The most beautiful maiden sits
wonderful up there;
her golden attire glances,
She combs her golden hair.
She combs with a golden comb
and sings a song;
that has a miraculous,
powerful melody.
The skipper in the small ship
seizes it with wild woe;
he doesn't look at the rocky reefs,
he just looks up into the sky.
I think, the waves devour
at the end boatman and boat;
and that has to do with her singing
the Lore-Ley done.

It rained particularly badly last night and today. So we decide to go straight home without stopping again in Rüdesheim. We wanted to anyway. Because we have to work again on the weekend.
The motorhome will be parked safely and cleaned. The refrigerator is emptied. Now it’s “goodbye” for a long time.
