Traben-Trarbach Things to Do

The old Rathaus, and what a lovely building it was. It was covered in Ivy and once again, another interesting building with distinctive architecture.
I can't find out any info about the building, sorry!

I had just walked from one end of the Bridge to the other, and happened to notice people standing by a small, peaked roof Art Nouveau building that was part of the Bridge.
As I went to walk by, I had a look, and would you believe, this was an Ice-cream Shop, I certainly would not have guessed that!
So, if you want an Ice-cream in a cone, then look at the photo, and that is where you buy one from.

I always like having a browse in Shop window's in a different country, and here I had some quite interesting find's.
Gift line's were very different! I saw some unusual gift's that I had never seen anywhere else before, also Troll's which I didn't expect to see in Germany.

Another beautiful building I saw was the Hotel Moselschloesschen.
It's a historical estate comprising of three buildings, including the "Half-timbered house," "Villa" and "Schloesschengasse", connected to each other through a small park and a courtyard with a well.
It has been beautifully restored and now is a 4* Hotel.

The Info centre is located in the Old Train Station which is known in German as the "Alter Bahnhof." Built in 1904, it features a facade typical of the area.
It is a rather nice looking old building with a clock and a painting of a Horse. Out the front, is a sculpture of a Woman and a Grape vine with plenty of Grape's.
This is also where tour's leave from and the Bus Station is located.

The Lorettahaus was the beautiful Art Nouveau building next to the Imperial Post Office.
Built between 1906 & 1908, it was local sculpturer Bernhard Wendish who made this building so beautiful and interesting!
Located in the bottom are shop's, and above the shop window's are sculpture's of different people. The Bottom look's to be made out of stone, and the very top is a half-timbered addition.
An amazing building that I liked having a look around!

The Hotel Bellevue is an eye-catching 4* Art Nouveau Hotel located overlooking the Mosel River. It has survived two World War's!
The Hotel has decorative references to the small town’s history of wine making, something I didn't realize at the time. Use your imagination, and see if you think the Tower is in the shape of a Champagne bottle, as that is what it's meant to be!

The Bellevue, originally called Clauss-Feist, was built by Richard Feist in 1903 and designed by the famous Berlin art nouveau architect Bruno Mohring. The "Red Baron," Baron Richthofen was once a guest of the Hotel.
