The main building in which all supplies are standing
on piles to ensure that during the winter months at high water everything
remain dry. The canteen is the heart of the campsite. Here you can submit an
application (and pay), order rolls or bread for the next day, buy a nice ice
cream or get the necessary camping things or sociably eat a nice meal what the
women of the house nicely can prepare.
In the lady
toilets you find the wash place, a washing machine and drier. Since the camper
place is situated just outside the campsite every camper on the campsite gets a
key to enter the toilet building. At both the ladies and the lords are there
cabins for washing and taking a shower whereas between this space and the
toilets also a door sits. This door is very necessary with the not too pleasant
air that is here from time to time to smell.
Between the
piles of the head building you find a place for all the dish wash. Here you
see, after the daily barbecue, a sociable chat with all the other campers when
they clean their dirty goblets and plates. In a small corner you have place for
emptying the chemical toilet.

very cold one. Everyone does not do this that way. Also in the Moselle you have
some nice bathing places. For the campsite at a part between some groynes you have sufficient space to swim.

watch out of course that you come not close too the channel concerning the
stream of beyond sailing ships.

the site http://www.mosel reisefuehrer.de you find all places that lie between
these cities and still much further information.
The name is
originating from "Confluentes" what means "junction". Here

castle ruin. In Karden stands the nice Saint Castor church and to the other
side of the Moselle in Treis you find the citadel ruin Treis and Wildburg.
Cochem is a
pronounced tourist town. It is certainly more expensive to stay on one of the
many terraces then in another place at the Moselle. The most important place of
