About Traben-Trarbach
Traben and Trarbach were two villages on opposite banks of the Mosel, joined by a bridge and merged in 1904. After the 1857 fire Trarbach was rebuilt in the fashion of the day, with many buildings by the Jugendstil architect Bruno Möhring, including the bridge gate of 1899. The town was long a major wine trading centre, and vaults up to 120 metres long run under the streets. The homes lie within a small area of the town. Most are small, with one bedroom, built for two or three, and a few have a sauna. The centre is easy on foot, but the climb to the ruins above is steep.
Is Traben-Trarbach right for you?
- Best for
- Couples on wine, cycling and river-boat breaks
- Not for you if
