GERMAN RIVERS: Cochem to Bernkastle-Kues

Koblenz, where we were yesterday – or was it the day before, is at the confluence of the Moselle and the Rhine.  So we’re now on the Moselle, which I think is much more picturesque than the Rhine.The Moselle is a river flowing through France, Luxembourg, and Germany. It is a left tributary of the Rhine, which it joins at Koblenz. A small part of Belgium is also drained by the Moselle through the Sauer and the Our.

It's colder today - autumn started yesterday - and the forecast is 90 % chance of rain.  So more than half the "riders" ride the train and bus to Bernkastle-Kues. By the way, when towns on the Mosel have a hyphenated names like this, it means there are two sister towns, one on the north side of the river and one on the south.

Looking north and south from the bridge connecting Bernkastle and Kues.

As I write this blog at 3:00 pm I look across the river and the sun is out and hopefully those who rode their bikes are enjoying the weather.
