Beilstein/Mosel in Ellenz-Poltersdorf

A small town on the Moselle River, nestled around a ruined castle on a hill. There's not much to see: hotels and restaurants, wineries, a few houses, a few shops, a few art studios, and souvenirs. But the town is truly enchanting: narrow streets, stairways, courtyards, and vistas. It's also known as Sleeping Beauty on the Moselle. Upstairs, near the ruins, is a restaurant with a terrace. The menu is average and geared towards tourists. During peak season, it offers a pleasant seating area with a view of the Moselle.

An absolute must if, like us, you frequently visit Germany's most beautiful river.

Beautiful view of the Moselle. The monastery café offers cakes and simple dishes. Small tables are situated in a prime location with a view.

A nice little place with old houses, narrow streets and its own unique flair.

Cochem looks like a nice place to take a walk

Very nice excursion destination!

A very picturesque town. Appetizing aromas and good white wine.

I love visit Germany. But these small town is the more beautiful in all my travels, the houses, the view the river and the nature is adorable. We live only one time, but we need going to Beilstein one time.

We found Beilstein deserted. Everything was closed, the end of the tourist season. Wonderfully peaceful, but a shame. We did enjoy a delicious meal at the Klosterstube on the terrace above the village.

A beautiful place – absolutely worth seeing! The castle offers a sensational view of the Moselle River!

A very pretty little place that invites you to linger. Narrow streets, several restaurants, and a few souvenir shops. You can eat delicious cake up by the church. Highly recommended.

Beautiful little place with half-timbered houses and a monastery

A beautiful little town with wonderful half-timbered houses. And the historic staircase where a film with Heinz Rühmann was shot in 1936.

Fantastically beautiful place directly on the Moselle ❤️

Great place... definitely worth seeing

Silent and comfortable spot for taking photos. Beautiful alleys to walk along to the church up the hill where you can have a view of the river and the wineries. Parking lot is close to the village on the road along the Mosel.

Quaint little town with narrow cobblestone streets, old half-timbered houses, and a castle. Highly recommended.

Sweet little village. Simply beautiful.

I must say my wife was in Beilstein with a friend and was thrilled

A very pretty and charming place on the Moselle

Very nice little place and good restaurants and cafes

A very beautiful place, even in autumn.

Beautiful touristic Moselle town.

Wonderful little villages on the Moselle. Lovely cafes and small shops. Very cozy and inviting to linger. A visit to the Metternich Castle ruins and the monastery church is definitely worthwhile.

One of the most beautiful places along the Moselle, with many wine bars where prices are reasonable.

A beautiful and picturesque village right on the Moselle River, with a lovely ruin above it. If you're in the area or driving past, be sure to stop for a short stroll and a snack at one of the many terraces. Free parking is available in the rear parking lot. It's about a 2-minute walk to the village.

Nice little town on the Mosel with the castle ruins of Metternich Castle.

Adorable Town. Picture perfect for strolling the streets and enjoying shopping for wine.

Beautiful, small town on the Moselle. A bit crowded. Many restaurants.

Cozy, for coffee and cake, wine tasting😊

Very crowded, but still worth seeing.

Very nice place, great Café Klapperburg, recommended.

Lots of wonderful, cozy wine bars and beautiful old houses.

Beautiful idyllic village like many of them along the Moselle

Here, too, you can experience the still intact life of a special Moselle village with its beautifully decorated alleyways. A must for Moselle travelers.

A superb, romantic spot on the Moselle. Hotspot for Moselle river cruises

The ruins of Mitternich Castle are also worth a visit. Entrance ticket for adults is €3.

Nice little place but not pleasant to walk.

Very worth seeing, but unfortunately far too crowded.

A beautiful and charming town on the banks of the Moselle River. The castle ruins stand above the village, offering stunning views of the Moselle and the valley.

Beautiful romantic place with narrow streets, very nice

Cute little place, but extremely crowded. Still worth a visit.

A very nice little town on the Moselle.

A beautiful town on the Moselle River with many cozy cafés and a castle ruin with an incredibly beautiful view of the Moselle Valley, which you can enjoy from the café there. The place is definitely worth a trip or a journey.

Very nice place next to Cochem you have to go there

Beautiful village , lovely cafes and restaurants. Locally referred to as "The sleeping beauty" . It is pretty lively in the summer.

A pretty place and not quite as crowded as Cochem.

A pretty little town on the Moselle. It can be reached by ferry or by car. Parking is subject to a fee.

A beautifully preserved village with a church and access to Metternich Castle. You'll need to be sure-footed and comfortable with the steps. The view, however, is worth it!

Beilstein is a very charming village with the ruins of Metternich Castle and, above all, one of the best-preserved historic townscapes, which is why it is also called the "Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle." It is also a place of pilgrimage, as the Black Madonna is displayed in the baroque monastery or Carmelite church. Next door is a monastery restaurant & café, which is tempting to visit with its delicious cuisine, excellent cakes, very friendly waiters, and a fantastic view. For more than 10 years, we have been spending a long weekend on the Moselle, and every year a visit to Beilstein is a must, whether by bike, boat, or car 👍🏻

Nice town, beautiful half-timbered houses, many restaurants and cafes

Such a sweet little town. You feel like you've been transported back to times gone by.

A warm little place with narrow streets and great restaurants, especially the Kloster Kaffee is recommended

A bit crowded, but worth it. A beautiful little town with the Heinz Rühmann staircase, right on the Moselle.

A charming little town right on the Moselle River. Plenty of opportunities to stop for a coffee or ice cream. Metternich Castle, perched atop the mountain, offers fantastic views. A landing stage for the Moselle boat tour offers further excursion options. Just outside the town limits – coming from Cochem on the L98 – there are also free parking spaces. They are only about 300 meters further than the paid parking spaces. Please note the clearance height for motorhomes...

A beautiful village, one of the most beautiful in the Moselle, combine this with a boat trip from Cochem...

Very beautiful place on the Mosel river!!! If you have the opportunity, be sure to visit Cochem and Beilstein🫠

Beilstein on the Moselle Beilstein is one of the most picturesque villages on the Moselle. The charming town center, with its narrow streets, half-timbered houses, and charming squares, exudes an almost fairytale atmosphere. From the castle ruins, you have a magnificent view of the river and the vineyards that climb the hillsides. Along the Moselle, you'll find charming terraces and wineries where you can enjoy local wines and regional dishes. The village exudes tranquility and authenticity, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing stopover or a romantic weekend. An absolute must for anyone who wants to experience the charm of the Moselle.

One of the most beautiful places on the Moselle!

Certainly one of the most beautiful little towns on the Moselle, or even in Germany...

A really beautiful, authentic village with lovely craftsman houses

A must-see if you're in the area. Very small, very old, and full of character. The old castle isn't just a dilapidated building; it's worth seeing in itself. Even if the climb seems tiresome, it's worth climbing the non-standard tower steps. Don't forget to keep your head down. There's delicious food on every corner. Don't forget the church.

A very pretty little town. Located directly on the banks of the Moselle. The ruins of Metternich Castle are worth a visit. Numerous small wine taverns round out the visit.

Beautiful little place, cozy alley leading to the castle.

A beautifully preserved old town with a historic atmosphere. I was thrilled.

A must-see; the place is picturesque, and the narrow streets are unfortunately always quite crowded. The castle ruins tower above everything; you have to be there, too.

Very beautiful place, worth a visit at any time.

Very beautiful place. Definitely worth a visit.

Very beautiful place. When the boats arrive, Beilstein gets quite crowded. Best visited in the late afternoon or early morning.

Very beautiful and romantic. Unfortunately, it gets very crowded on weekends. Beautiful little shops and places to enjoy.

Bilstein is a charming little town on the Moselle. Its picturesque town center and excellent restaurants. There's a monastery above where you can also eat. Further up, there's a castle with a restaurant. Go there. I highly recommend it. 🥰🥰🥰

The town of Beilstein is truly beautiful, but... it's hopelessly overcrowded in August! You should really take your time to see all the pretty things! It's best not to go during peak season, though. So, one point deducted...

A nice village, but small. Delicious food, though.

A very beautiful village with a great castle. We took the ferry to get there by car. It was super fun, and the boat drivers were always very nice.

Very beautiful, enchanted place with lots of half-timbered houses

A bit disappointing. Sorry for the comment, not even a coffee at 10 a.m.

Beautiful place, unfortunately far too many tourists there

Always worth a visit, directly on the Moselle with beautiful alleys to stroll through

A very beautiful, dreamy little town. I especially recommend Cafe Klapperburg. Delicious Riesling cake 😋

nice town, beautiful half-timbered houses, unfortunately few shops open, ruins on the hill are worth a visit

A very nice little town, a pleasant place to visit even when the weather isn't so great. Small alleys and beautifully preserved old houses invite you to linger.

A small tranquil place with good gastronomy

A cool place to spend the weekend.

Bilstein is always worth a visit

This place is simply enchantingly beautiful. It may be small, but it's lovely and perfectly adequate for a day trip. Especially with the beautiful town of Cochem across the road. We took a boat tour from here to Beilstein (approx. 1 hour). A return day ticket costs €19 per person (as of July 25). The boat departs approximately hourly, so you can choose your own return time. Please note: Mondays are a day of rest, and the monastery and castle are closed.

Charming little village. Lovely terraces. We sat under a grapevine and looked out over the water. Very cozy restaurant. The restaurant was on the road. I don't remember its name.

A very beautiful place. Chic streets with always something to explore. A must-see in good weather!

Small, quaint village with half-timbered charm and narrow streets.

A wonderful experience. Almost a must if you travel in the Moselle Valley.

Best to visit early in the morning or in the evening

A small, beautiful wine town. I came because of the Heinz Rühmann stairs.

What a wonderful place. Many houses have been meticulously restored. Hardly any trash in the streets and alleys.

A beautiful little town right on the Moselle River. It's worth stopping at a café overlooking the Moselle.

A very beautiful little place, not to be missed!

A charming historic town on the Moselle with many romantic corners, half-timbered houses and a castle ruin.

A beautiful little town on the Moselle, with a castle ruin high above. Our stop at a winery restaurant near the market was quite lovely. However, as soon as a passenger steamer docks, this beautiful little town is immediately crowded with people.

Absolutely beautiful old houses, cozy restaurants, unique views!

Beautiful place, lots of tourists, but they're well spread out, especially when a river cruise ship is there. The pistachio ice cream was especially delicious.

We love Beilstein. Especially Haus Lipman. Highly recommended.

Beilstein is a very idyllic little tourist town. You should definitely check it out.
