cochemer sesselbahn

We took the lift up the hill to see the views of Cochem and were glad we did. You can hike over to the cross, which is illuminated at night, and see the river and town below. The weather was a bit iffy, but by the time we actually went up on the lift, the weather had cleared and was sunny. We hiked around for a good amount of time. There is a snack bar up there too, which we did not go to. We hiked around the area and saw a roller coaster up there. Getting on and off the cars is easy and they will stop the lift if you need more time to get on and off.

I love my experience here because I did not get nervous at all. If you get spaghetti legs like I do on high places - this cable car ride promises - no nervousness on the way to the top. The ground is just a meter away and it doesn't feel like you're ascending at all because of that. A must do and the view at the top is just so worth it! We bought the pic and as promised we got them via post in 10 days. There's food on top so you won't thirst nor get hungry while on hike since there's a lot of route suggestions on top. We saw a hawk hunting and just picked something up on the ground - that's a bonus.

As a family of 2 teenage kids and two adults, we all had fun doing the chairlift at Cochem. The chairlift itself takes about 5 minutes to reach the top and once there you can walk the narrow rocky path to the cross and take in the views of the town of Cochem.You can walk to the wildlife park from the top but we did not do this. There is also a restaurant at the top, but again, we gave it a miss.

From Cochem, a cross can be seen on the top of a hill. So, we took the Cochemer Sesselbahn up which is great to see the town and surrounding countryside including the Mosel River. So, we get off the chair lift and promptly go the wrong way to walk to the cross. We are walking & walking & walking and thinking this can't possibly be right. A few other people were behind us and when we turned around, they kept going so hard to say where they ended up. Anyways, after getting in the right direction, the cross is a very short walk from the chairlift. There are great views of the town from here. If it's a clear day, this is worth doing. There is a restaurant up there also but we didn't go to it.

If you are looking for something to do after touring the old town - take a ride on the chairlift to see some amazing views of the city below.

This is definitely worth doing if you have time whilst visiting the lovely city of Cochem. The cable car takes you to a cafe at the top which offers good views of Cochem, the river and the valley. From there you can walk to the cross for stunning views or walk to the Klotten Wildlife Park. The walk is on forest paths and can be steep in places.

It's a great and easy way to get to the up of the hill. There is a restaurant in which I had an amazing Black Forest Cake (during my trip to the Germany I had it also in different restaurants but this one was definitely the best!!!) and you can also go to the famous in Cochem Pinner Kreuz or take a walk to Klotten Wildlife and Leisure Park (which is a great day out if travelling with children).

It is a nice trip to the top, and there is a cafe up there. In addition, you can walk for 25 minutes to reach a nice park in the top (good for families with children). You can also reach the park by car.

This is a must do in Cochem, specially if the weather is warm and sunny. The trip up the mountain doesn't take long and the views are breathtaking. At the top there is a restaurant were you can enjoy a little meal or a refreshing beverages.

Very nice to walk little bit around to admire the view. And before you go down enjoy something from the restaurant at the top. My opinion a must do if you visit Cochem.

Nice is not a fantastic attraction but it is fairly fun, relaxing and nice and you get to enjoy a view of of cochem city surroundings.The ride takes around 8 minutes and from the top there is a cafe, you can trek 5 minutes to a viewpoint called Pinnerkreutz over looking the Mosel river and valley and if you walk 20 minutes you can go to a mini zoo/amusement park entrance is €16 per person. Be careful to go back with the lift before closing time or you will have an exhausting walk down the hill by a small path. Good if you need some exercise though :-)

Cochem, is probably the most visited village along the Moselle River. The Reischsburg Castle dominates the town. The village is quite small and it's easy to find your way around. There are charming lanes and medieval houses, lots of little shops. The streets are cobblestone. There are many restaurants along the river near the town. The are stairs to the castle. We found the tour of the castle very informative. You can walk down to the town.

We visited Cochem in June 2014 on a gloriously sunny day and decided to take the chair lift as it was far too hot to walk to the top! This was probably my 5th time and it is always amazing and doesn't feel too high. You are offered the option to have a photo taken near the top but we didn't have one. The restaurant at the top never changes. I first went there about 30 years ago and still remember the amazing views of the valley. If it hadn't been so hot, we would have walked down instead.

We rode on the chair-lift one-way to the top, enjoyed the views from the 'cross' and walked the way down. Achtung! Attention! Just before the chair-lift reaches the top, a photographer is stationed who will ask if you want a photo clicked. We got ourselves clicked, she posted us the photos and they turned out really nice! She charged us 7 euros for 2 prints of size 6" x 4" (including postage within Germany). She had some other options also available.

Es ist wirklich nichts für Menschen mit Höhenangst oder unzureichender Schwindelfreiheit, es schaukelt und ruckelt ganz schön während der Fahrt und wirklich gut gesichert kommt man sich nicht vor. Nach der Fahrt allerdings lohnt sich die Aussicht auf der Bergstation und in deren bewaldetem Umland, an dessen stadtwärts gerichtetem Ende das Pinnerkreuz steht.Runter sollte man eventuell den langen Weg wählen oder erneut die Bahn nehmen, der kurze Abstieg durch den alten Weinberg ist definitiv nichts für schwache Nerven (und es ist dort so gut wie unmöglich umzukehren!)
