Klotten and the surrounding area

One of dozens of wine villages on the Moselle, and yet a little different. The look of Klotten is set by the white church with its red stripes and by Coraidelstein castle, high on the hill above.

What is there to do in and around Klotten?

Besides the old buildings and the fine scenery there is plenty to see and do. From a castle that was never destroyed to a theme park within walking distance, and from a suspension bridge across the valley to a Cold War bunker.
