Sprawled across both sides of the Moselle River, Bernkastel-Kues is a lovely medieval town known for its winemaking and its exciting street festivals. The festivals are when the town is at its busiest, but it's just as enjoyable to be here when the streets are sleepy and quiet, and you'll be able to get some excellent photos of town landmarks like the Pointed House, the Town Hall, and the Graach Gate. You can also take a romantic one-hour cruise down the river, but before you leave, be sure to head to the Marktplatz town square for some traditional German schnitzel and beer. Bernkastel-Kues
