Overview:  Nestled in the Mosel Valley, behind a few rocky hills, is the charming town of Cochem.  This quaint town has something for everyone.  Long ago it was the home of ghosts and robbers, whose stories you will hear about on the Reichsburg Castle tour.  See some of the medieval houses in the town of Cochem before walking up to the castle, high above the town center. 

At the castle, a special tour will show our traveling ghosts and robbers many exciting corners of the castle, like the castle tower, parapets and the dungeon!  The medieval life within these historic walls will be explained and relived.  Construction of the medieval defenses will be visually explained.  There is nothing scary, but interesting information and entertainment for our knights and damsels who are visiting.  Visitors are encouraged to come in costumes of medieval knights, ladies, servants and farmers, as well as ghosts or robbers!  Medieval-style dinner follows in the Knight’s restaurant or hall, where guests eat as in the days of old – with their fingers – and enjoy our special medieval menu of chicken legs with flat bread, and modern additions of  apple juice soda and an ice cream dessert.
