The Mosel Route road leads to Wehlen and Bernkastel-Kues. On the right bank of the river, below Burg Landshut (view), is Bernkastel, with its pretty Marktplatz, its Town Hall of 1608 and its pillory. On the banks of the Mosel stands the Early Gothic St Michael's Church. A bridge leads over the Mosel to Kues, with the Cusanusstift (St Nicholas's
Hospital; Late Gothic cloister), founded by the cardinal and philosopher Nicolaus Cusanus (Nikolaus Krebs, 1401-64), whose heart is buried in the Gothic chapel. In the library are his astronomical instruments and apparatus, including the oldest celestial sphere.
The Mosel Route road continues along the right bank.
