The Moselle metropolis of Cochem offers hikers several circular routes and walks to get to know the medieval town below the imperial castle.
One route passes over the Pinnerkreuz (footpath below the chairlift and above the train station) - named after the shepherd Pinn who fell there while searching for a lost lamb. Another route goes through Bernstraße to the marketplace, up Schlossstraße to the imperial castle. From there, it goes down a path to the right with wonderful views - past the Peterskapelle (St. Rochus plague chapel) through the Martinstor (part of the former city wall) back through the town center.
