- Kobern-Gondorf
The Koberner Schlossberg rises 130 m above the Moselle between the deeply cut side valleys of Hohesteinsbach and Eiligbach. The narrow mountain ridge had already proved to be an ideal location for the construction of a castle complex early on, which was later supplemented by a second castle. Between the river and the steep slopes, the wine village of Kobern, first mentioned in a document in 980 AD, has developed. Its buildings extend up into the side valleys and have meanwhile merged seamlessly with the neighboring district of Gondorf to the south. Vineyards are traditionally cultivated on the steep valley flanks. he exposed mountain spur bristles with cultural-historical monuments and an impressive variety of heat-loving plant and animal species. The famous Matthias Chapel, the endangered Red-winged Grasshopper and Rock Bunting or many protected biotopes represent a true beacon of biodiversity on the theme of "Castle Mountains".
