A stroll through the romantic narrow streets of the old town of Bernkastel-Kues is one of the highlights of any trip to this town on the Moselle, with charming little shops and boutiques, inviting restaurants and traditionally rustic wine taverns and café.The impressive timberwork on the town's centuries-old houses promises a genuine Moselle-style experience. Among the many sights worth seeing in Bernkastel are the historical market square, the Renaissance-style town hall and St. Michael's Fountain - the last two built in the early 17th Century - as well as the traditional "pointed house" dating back a further 200 years, all of which vividly evoke the town's long and often magnificent past.
