Piesport
Piesport Review
On a magnificent loop 12 km (7½ mi) southwest of Brauneberg is the famous village of Piesport, whose steep, slate cliff is known as the Loreley of the Mosel. The village puts a fireworks display for its Loreleyfest the first weekend in July. Wines from its 35 vineyards are collectively known as Piesporter Michelsberg; however, the finest individual vineyard site, and one of Germany's very best, is the Goldtröpfchen ("little droplets of gold").
