Beilstein/Mosel in Ellenz-Poltersdorf

Always worth a stop, whether by bike, car or on foot!!

Beautiful cozy location and nice village for good food/drinks

A quaint beautiful little town on the banks of the Moselle. Lots of little bars and cafes and adoration’s and pretty doors

Very nice little town on the Moselle, it is always worth taking a detour there when you are on the Moselle.

Utterly charming. It feels like stepping straight into a storybook. Every corner feels magical. It's peaceful, picturesque, and full of old-world charm. An absolute gem!

A beautiful little town with lovely houses and nice restaurants. The downside: many other visitors know this, so it's incredibly crowded on weekends. It's almost impossible to find a parking space. Due to the poorly signposted parking areas, I'm giving it only 4 stars instead of 5. The town itself is already worthy of 5 stars.

A very beautiful area, very beautiful old houses, and an old castle ruin. Just be careful, you shouldn't go there on holidays or weekends, because there are simply too many tourists. If possible, maybe during the week, but otherwise it's very, very beautiful there with a fantastic view of the Moselle.

A small but beautiful town on the Moselle. A visit is highly recommended.

A very beautiful little town worth exploring. Be sure to stop by.

Very nice and cozy place on the Mosel. Not very big but definitely worth it.

A very cute cafe with lots of little booths outside and an interior filled with hundreds of coffee grinders. Service was quick and friendly, and the cake selection was extensive. Our slices were relatively large and delicious.

Very beautiful but also very touristy.

Beautiful place with a unique historic town center!

If you don't get hit by a bike, you can have a great time there.

Touristy, which is not surprising given the beautiful place.

Nice little town. We had to wait a good hour for our boat. It looks cozy there. Lots of small alleys. A shop here, a restaurant there. We went through there to get to Metternich Castle.

Cosy village against the mountain on the Moselle

A small beautiful town on the Mosel. From Cochem by bus 20 minutes. Beautiful authentic houses and atmosphere. There are many vineyards around. In Ballstein itself there is a castle (more precisely the ruins of the Metternich castle)

Very nice place highly recommended.

A very pretty tourist town with plenty of restaurants. Be sure to climb the castle for a phenomenal view.

A very pretty little village on the Moselle. Narrow streets and pleasant places to stop for a bite to eat.

A very beautiful old town worth a visit. It's also easily accessible by boat.

Unfortunately, we had to transfer directly from the ship to the bus! What a shame, we would have loved to stay a little longer! Best wishes from Lake Constance (Austria)

Snow-white village on the Moselle with a beautiful view over the Moselle and a delicious coffee or wine is a great place to relax.

Beautiful old village with sufficient eating and drinking possibilities. Up at the abbey you have a beautiful view of the mosel.

A very pretty little town that you can easily visit in two hours if you don't stop for a bite to eat. It took us three and a half hours. I recommend the wine bar next to the monastery steps (the film steps). Some simple but delicious dishes at a fair price, and delicious wines.

What a beautiful place with such beautiful buildings

Simply a beautiful village on the Moselle, mega mega beautiful and romantic

A very beautiful old town. Lots of half-timbered houses, simply romantic and small, and winding alleys. Speechless.

Beautiful romantic place to stay

The town of Beilstein on the Moselle is beautiful. The medieval backdrop is absolutely worth seeing. After the tour we wanted to eat something, but we lost our appetite just looking through the drinks menu. You've already gotten used to the completely overpriced drinks, but 8.20 euros for 0.4 l of wine spritzer is probably outrageous. And this in an area where there is more than enough wine. So, we left the restaurant without ordering.

Beautiful idyllic place. Cozy terraces.

Really worth it, stood on the other side with the ferry across and ready....enjoy

Top. Always worth a trip, if possible during the week. Often overcrowded on weekends.

Picturesque little town on the Moselle, always worth a trip.

The landscape is simply beautiful, a great little place with lots of restaurants and places to sit and enjoy.

Very nice little place surrounded by vineyards and very nice views from Metternich Castle. Definitely worth a visit.

Very cozy place with nice terraces

Pure romance. You feel like you've been transported to another time

Beilstein is the Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle. Time seems to stand still during a visit. Beilstein is always worth a visit.

Beilstein with castle is a pearl on the Moselle.

Very nice with great hiking trails, not just to Metternich Castle

Small but nice place on the Moselle....

Great authentic Moselle experience

very nice place on the Moselle. Many things are closed on Wednesdays.

Beilstein, almost everyone says you should see it......3 houses and that's it! What a disappointment, once but never again, we went to Cochem with screeching tires!

Beautiful medieval place on the Moselle. Lots of great places to stop for refreshments. You can hike to the castle ruins above Beilstein. The last part of the route and access to the castle ruins are subject to a fee. We will definitely come back again.

Very nice cozy village with plenty of entertainment right on the Mosel. Due to the ideal location, the sun shines on the terraces on the Moselle until well over 9 p.m. The free parking is also a bonus.

It's a beautiful place on the banks of the Moselle river, its streets remind you of a journey through history.

Probably the most beautiful place on the Moselle.

Went there at 11:30 during the Easter holidays on April 15th. Ice cream parlor, souvenir shop, café and restaurant completely closed. Gastronomy Food only from 5 p.m. The season started on April 12th. Parking spaces completely full. Over a hundred tourists because they can't have lunch or drink coffee. Too bad. Otherwise one of the most beautiful places on the Moselle.

Super cozy historic town, small but worth it. Wonderful restaurants and wine tasting.

Small romantic wine town with great half-timbered houses. Everything was very well maintained. It's worth a visit...

Nice little place on the Moselle, we have already visited Metternich Castle, great view of the Moselle, tried a Riesling at the Knipp winery.

One of the most beautiful places I know

Nice and very clocky place, a bit small but you can really look at everything in peace. I can highly recommend the little gem shop because the saleswoman is exemplary nice and friendly.

Yes, a very nice and small Moselle town

Has a very tasty 😋 restaurant and great views of the Moselle

A Fairytale Jewel on the Moselle: Beilstein Beilstein, affectionately known as the "Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle", is a village that immediately enchants you. Located on the winding banks of the Moselle, in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, this picturesque town is an absolute must-see for anyone who wants to experience the romantic atmosphere of the Moselle region. With its well-preserved medieval architecture, the steep vineyards that embrace the village and the tranquil, almost fairytale-like ambiance, Beilstein is an oasis of peace and beauty. Walking through the narrow, winding streets it feels as if time has stood still. The half-timbered houses, decorated with flowers and climbing plants, breathe history. The imposing ruin of Metternich Castle towers majestically above the village and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Moselle Valley. The climb to the castle is well worth it, not only for the spectacular views, but also to explore the remains of this historic fortress. The heart of Beilstein is formed by the attractive marketplace, surrounded by cozy Weinstuben (wine taverns) and restaurants. Here you can enjoy the delicious local Moselle wines, such as the Riesling, which matures on the surrounding slopes. Taste the regional specialties and be pampered by the hospitality of the locals. A boat trip on the Moselle offers a beautiful perspective of the village and surrounding vineyards. Despite its relatively small size, Beilstein offers several sights. In addition to Metternich Castle, the Carmelite Church with its Baroque interior is definitely worth a visit. The historic water mill and the old city gates also contribute to the unique charm of Beilstein. What really makes Beilstein special is the serene tranquility that prevails there. Unlike some other, busier places along the Moselle, Beilstein has retained its authentic character. It is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the slow, relaxing atmosphere. In short, Beilstein is an enchanting village that stimulates all your senses. The combination of the beautiful location on the Moselle, the historic architecture and the friendly atmosphere makes it an unforgettable destination. Whether you are a lover of history, nature, wine or are simply looking for a romantic getaway, Beilstein will certainly not disappoint you. An absolute must for a visit to the Moselle region!

Small, nice, partly playful place, With a beautiful church.

In Cochem we got the tip to visit Beilstein and it was really a very good tip. From the street, completely inconspicuous, you reach a beautiful little old town that is absolutely worth seeing. I can only recommend taking an hour and visiting the narrow streets, the beautiful little market square, the monastery and the castle ruins. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful cities on the Moselle.

A beautiful, small place with enchanted corners. When everything is blooming and decorated with flowers, it is certainly even more magical than it is now at the beginning of April. It wasn't that crowded today.

We went for a walk in the town and then stopped at the monastery café. The winemaker's cake was amazing :-), the staff were great, and the price/performance ratio was decent.

Romantic, idyllic place worth visiting if you haven't been there yet.

Definitely worth walking through I

Nice city and fantastic viewpoint. Only really open from April / Easter

A wonderful, dreamy place. Not as over-touristed as Cochem. The climb to the castle and the view are worth it. Such a romantic, beautiful setting. I will definitely go there again. A truly soulful place.

Bilstein in March is quiet and worth seeing. Quiet especially since no restaurant is open at this time of year and therefore there is no tourism.

Very nice, picturesque place on the Moselle, unfortunately still in hibernation at 20 degrees in March.

Unfortunately almost all restaurants are still closed; The season doesn't start until mid-April

Nice little place on the Moselle.

Very nice excursion destination, but you can get through it quickly

Very nice Old village with nice restaurants and a great view of the Moselle

Beautiful but extinct! Even the church was closed!!! People live here too or is it just a summer holiday town...?!

A beautiful town on the Moselle. I encourage you to take a walk around the old town and the castle above it. In cozy pubs you can drink good coffee and eat tasty food.

In my opinion, this small village gets a little too much credit. Yes, a castle...yes, the most frequently taken photo is that house with flowers. But it is also the only house.

We've been here twice already. In the summer of 2022, when we hiked 20km to Cochem and in 2024 between the years. Very lively and colorful in summer, sleepy and quiet in winter. Worth a visit at any time of the year. Simply beautiful place.

From November to April it's like extinct.

Very nice village, I think, in the summer. We were there in December and everything was closed, nothing to do, drink, eat, nothing. Mehhhh. Will reopen to tourists in mid-April.

Beautiful little place on the Moselle

Beilstein, a wonderful place on the Moselle! And at Stephan Burg the best place and the best wine! Wonderful, we didn't want to leave again🥰

A very beautiful view of the Moselle with a clear holiday feeling! In this area there are many holiday apartments and other accommodations in different price categories, you will find something for every budget. You are very close to Cochem and Koblenz. Beilstein is a very beautiful place, looks medieval and is built into the hillside. You can eat very tasty cake in the Hotel/Café and Bistro Klapperburg, which is somewhat hidden in a side junction. A very worth visiting coffee! The cakes and tarts are still baked there! You can also admire a huge collection of old coffee grinders in the rooms. The climb to Hohenbeilstein Castle is an arduous walk uphill through enchanted streets, but it's worth it just for the view. If you want to go to the other side of the river, you can use a nearby ferry for an additional charge. From €2 per person, it becomes more expensive with a bike or car and is valid per person in the car.

Super romantic place where you can drink great wine

Manageable location and in many places a pleasant atmosphere and positive surprise.

A very nice, small place to stay. If you like coziness, this dreamy place with beautiful half-timbered houses is the right place for you.

Very nice little cozy place on the Moselle. The castle and the view are beautiful.

Very picturesque village and a beautiful view from the castle, which is easy to reach.

Very idyllic, loving place with good gastronomy

In my opinion, the place is one of the most idyllic... very beautiful streets and half-timbered houses and of course a beautiful castle towering over everything.

Very nice little Moselle town between vineyards and the Moselle. Located directly on the Moselle cycle path. Ideal for stopping and resting. 🚴

Beautiful place to explore, I can only recommend it

A true pearl on the Moselle. Great old architecture, narrow streets, delicious places to stop and a few shops with nice things. The ruins of Metternich Castle tower above, framed by vines. Definitely worth a visit

Really recommended. The climb to the castle is also easy for inexperienced people. The steps in the keep should be climbed carefully. It's pretty dark.

Nice little winegrowing town. Beautiful church.

A place worth seeing. The castle is very beautiful and has a great view of the Moselle and the surrounding area. The Black Madonna and her story is very interesting 🧐

One of the most beautiful places on the Moselle.

Absolute highlight on the Moselle

A beautiful little place. Fantastic scenery

Beautiful little town, unfortunately a little overcrowded.
