About Bruttig-Fankel
Bruttig-Fankel is two wine villages on the Lower Moselle, about 1,100 people in all, under steep vineyard slopes. Bruttig goes back to at least 898, and the riverside street, Am Moselufer, is the place to look: a town hall from 1619, the late Renaissance Schunck house from 1652 and a timber-framed wine inn from 1667. The church of Mariä Himmelfahrt keeps a 13th-century Romanesque tower, and Fankel has a weir on the river. The vineyards, Pfarrgarten, Götterlay, Rathausberg, Layenberg and Rosenberg among them, are mostly Riesling, with some Elbling and reds. The homes sit close together within the two villages.
Is Bruttig-Fankel right for you?
- Best for
- Couples on a Mosel wine trip who prefer a small village
- Not for you if
- You are a family of six or more, since the homes here sleep five at most.
