I liked the town of Cochem. The castle is pretty cool - from the outside at least. We never went in. Did you try some Reisling wine when you were there? That area is known for it.
The ferry ride looks cool. A river boat would be a good way to see the area.
Yes, it looks really nice from the outside! And the city is really beautiful, did you also walk along the promenade? No, unfortunately we didn't try a Reisling, that's true, that should have been part of it. Boat trips always give you a different perspective and visiting a second castle was perfect for us :) Thanks for checking out my post!
We didn't walk the entire length of the promenade but we did a portion of it and crossed the bridge as well. That's a good tip that you shared. We didn't find it as busy on the other side either.
Maybe it's only a bit more crowded at the weekend or on very warm days. That's great that you found it nice there:)
