Zell (Mosel)
A small town famous for Zeller Schwarze Katz wine, where a riverside promenade, the Black Cat Fountain, and a viewpoint above the river bend make a relaxed half-day trip.
Zell is a small wine town in the middle Mosel. Zeller Schwarze Katz is one of Germany's best-known wine geographical indications. Legend has it that when a wine merchant was selecting wine, the barrel the black cat jumped onto was the finest. The old town has the Black Cat Fountain, remnants of an electors' palace, and a long riverside promenade, and a wine festival is held in summer. You can drive or walk up to the nearby Marienburg viewpoint to see the Mosel's bends on both sides. It is about 25 km from Cochem and can be combined on the same route with Burg Arras and Traben-Trarbach.
