"Jugendstil on the Mosel river" a Traben-Trarbach Travel Page by ATLC

In the Off the Beaten Path tips I describe all the sights that are laid out in the Jugendstil walk. And also a few more details here and there that didn't make it to the 11 highlights.

Thanks to free internet in my room in the Jugendstil Bellevue hotel, I can make a start writing this page while I'm here.
With 3 nights in a luxury junior suite, this is a great base to explore up and down the river Mosel.
You will find many photo's of this hotel on the page because it is not only superb accommodation, it is also a Must See in its own right (Jugendstil architecture) and has a great restaurant.

When along a river, every village is a tourist attraction, which do you choose for your stay? Traben-Trarbach, the double city (Traben on the north bank and Trarbach on the south bank) is definitely a good choice. It has a history of wealth and was once the 2nd winetrading center in Europe. Disaster (fire) was turned into assett (rebuilding in the Jugendstil style around 1900).
Yet Traben-Trarbach is not as touristy as for instance Cochem or Bernkastel-Kues that have countless people wandering about shops with cheap souvenirs. Maybe not cheap souvenirs, but definitely stalled out with no regard for the wonderful architecture around.
So, choose Traben-Trarbach!
