Bernkastel-Kues is a touristic town in Germany. The town is located on the Moselle, between the vineyards. It has 6,907 inhabitants. It consists of two parts: Bernkastel on the right bank of the Moselle and Kues on the left bank. These are connected by a bridge. The Moselle forms the border between the Eifel in the north and the Hunsrück in the south in this area and makes many sharp bends. The Moselle and Bernkastel-Kues are situated at a lower elevation than the surrounding area. The vineyards are located on the slopes of the Moselle valley. Bernkastel lies to the east on the outer bend of the Moselle, on the side of the Hunsrück, and Kues to the west on the inner bend. The Bernkastel part in particular is a tourist attraction. It has a old centre. Here, alleys and narrow steps lead up to the vineyards. Kues is bigger and more modern than Bernkastel.

Koblenz is located at the mouth of the Moselle and Rhine. Old fortress walls, fortress towers, castles and patrician houses form the remains of an eventful past. The ‘Deutsches Eck’ is the point where the Moselle flows into the Rhine. Part of the Orange Route runs through Koblenz.
