Kattenes is so centrally located that you can easily reach all attractions of the lower Moselle area. Especially recommended is a visit to the Eltz Castle, a castle located only a few miles from Kattenes and known for its interesting history and its perfect unrestored condition inside and out.

The region is known for its limitless hiking possibilities. Many castle ruins may be explored, canyons can be hiked and the trails along the Mosel valley rim offer a beautiful view.

Tip: Look for old water mills when you are hiking. They are usually in beautiful places and quite a few have been turned into small restaurants that cater to hikers. Kattenes itself is known for its “valley of the 13 mills”. Of these water mills 12 still exist, one almost on top of the other in a very steep side valley leading up to the plateau.
In total there must be a hundred  water mills within hiking distance of Kattenes. Some are quite remote, some are restored and some are in ruins. All are worth to be looked at.

 

You can also use our bicycles to explore the area on the bicycle routes along the Mosel. You can ride through tunnels on abandoned railroad tracks turned into bicycle paths.

We are registered as a bicycle friendly Hotel in the German Bicycle Club (ADFC).
