Thurant Castle

One of the oldest castles in the Moselle Valley can be found in Alken. Partly built on Roman foundations, Thurant Castle can be seen from afar. From the top, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Moselle river and the vineyards. You can experience this double castle and learn about the ancient craft of winemaking on a tour.

For those who love the outdoors, several scenic hiking trails lead up to Thurant Castle, offering stunning panoramic views along the way. The popular Bleidenberger Ausblicke trail takes hikers through lush forests and vineyards before reaching the castle, while other routes wind through the picturesque Moselle landscape, passing historical landmarks and charming villages. Whether on foot or by bike, the journey to Thurant Castle is as rewarding as the destination itself.
