Steep vineyards going up to Reichsburg Cochem
Reichsburg Cochem, the inspiration for the Cochem Kingdom in the Seven Kingdom Fairy Tales series:
The high water tower in the town of Cochem is the inspiration for the Palace Agricultural Library in the first book in the series.
And the real city library of Cochem, the "Stadtbücherei."
This is the REAL library in Cochem.
The sign says:
“City library
Opening times

It’s steep! -

Can you find the tower with the funny face? -
Â
Tower marks where the stairs start. -

Downtown Cochem. -

Don’t you love those half-timbered houses? -

If you built a fountain, what would it look like?

Â
Even the fence has a sense of humor! -

View from the castle! -
Â
The Mosel River -
Â
Grapes getting ready!

Â
A bend in the river -
Â
Stairs, stairs, stairs 🙂 -
Â
Almost there!
So many stairs . . .
Going the “back way” behind the castle and vineyards and up the stairs, stairs, stairs. 🙂 Views from the top because you need a reward, right?
Want to take a mini-cruise on the Mosel River?
I still have to learn how to delete the noisy audio so you get authentic boat cruise sounds and me getting my camera explained to me. ©Laurel Decher, 2020.
