    • Some Polish or Russian street singers cheer up the busy streets.

    • Very busy little streets and also the Marktplatz was crowded with people. Nice houses all around, very uninteresting shops though. The fountain is of 1767 and in my Mosel guide I read that the Marktplatz is the first address to go to. But really, I thought it was so busy I was out of there in a flash!

    • Bernstrasse leads from the Endertor (Ender gate) to Marktplatz. Shops and people. Sigh...

    • We climbed to Kapuzinerberg (see Things to do Tips) from Endertstrasse and we came down the Kapuzinertreppe (stairs) on the other side. The sun was shining and you could feel the warmth of the stones. Halfway a man was busy with a broom. He commented that autumn was early this year. Many leaves had already fallen. We wished each other 'Schönen Tag'.

    • Like any other town along the Mosel, the streets along the Mosel are full of hotels and restaurants. In Cochem the houses have very nice colours too.

    Off The Beaten Path: Walk towards the castle

    • Here are some images of what you see while you walk to the castle. Or rather: climb to the castle.
    When you start the climb, you hopefully look up and discover that it doesn't look far away (photo 1). It doesn't, does it? But it'll take you another 15 minutes (heave heave!) to reach there. Then you come across a chapel called Rochuskapelle (photo 2). In 1422 there was an archbishop that kept the city of Cochem free of certain taxes. And so the first chapel was built. It was later rebuilt by a landlord (photo 3). After the chapel (as I also say in my transportation tip), you will find yourself descending. Not a hopeful sign because you know you still have to go up a long way. You'll find a little tiny chapel with a Maria in it, and a request to support the restoration of it (photo 4). Then the final haul comes of easy but steep steps. And when you're nearly there, you look to your right and see the castle (photo 5). You'll have rounded almost the whole hill before coming this far!
