Fodor's Expert Review Mittelalterlicher Marktplatz

Elaborately carved half-timber houses (16th–17th century) and a Renaissance town hall (1608) frame St. Michael's Fountain (1606) on Bernkastel's photogenic medieval market square. At the beginning of September, the square and riverbank are lined with wine stands for one of the region's largest wine festivals, the Weinfest der Mittelmosel.
