Neck/collar steak ("lumberjack style")

Sausage salad

A former monastery got converted into a brewery, in a beautiful and tranquil setting. The beers are very nice too boot.

At another place:

Onion soup with a heavy cheese toast

Smoked trout on plate but it's more about the herbs and edible flowers they grow in their own garden.

These leaves are so intensely aromatic I thought they were lovage. Wife/cook said celery. I eat celery leaves all the time but ours don't have this kind of intensity in smell and flavour.

4 Rieslings and 1 Sekt ("traditional method")

Restaurant is in the basement and has 5 tables. We were the first to arrive, had only 2 tables to choose from. Owners are kind and cool. Man is the vineyard farmer himself, wife cooks in the restaurant when it's open - mostly in high season. They enjoy telling you about their wines and their food. The regulars arrived shortly after us who were on hugging-and-kissing terms with the owners.

All the herbs and edible flowers come from their own garden and they all taste wonderful.

- There are cookery books for Mosel region. (Unfortunately, I no longer buy cookery books or souvenirs.)

- Wine is the soul of the Mosel valley. You can bring vine plants home.

 

The mind-calming beauty of the Middle Mosel:

- Endless quaint villages and camp grounds with vineyard slope backdrop.

- One of the many quiet villages.

- This lovely village where I ate a meal in photos above, is 30 minutes by bike from where I'm staying. "Nationally recognised holiday destination". Absolutely well deserved.

- Riesling at every turn. Again. Sundial/clock on far left. A closer sundial. Everyone in the village could see the time.

- You wait right there! My kids have priority!

- Big wheel so you could see the vineyards from up there.

- The last sun rays of the day. Then comes the blue hour.
