Fodor's Expert Review Jüdischer Friedhof

Bernkastel was once the home of a well-assimilated Jewish community until the Nazis took power. You can ask at the tourist center to borrow a key to the town's Jewish cemetery, reachable by a scenic half-hour hike through the vineyards in the direction of Traben-Trarbach. Opened in the mid-19th century, it contains a few headstones from a destroyed 17th-century graveyard.
