The Moselle River-France tourism
The Moselle River
The Moselle (known as Mosel in German) is approximately 320 mi. (515 km) long, rising in the Vosges mountain range of northeastern France, and winding generally north past Epinal and Metz. Leaving France, it forms part of the border between Luxembourg and Germany, then enters Germany, passes Trier, and cuts between the Eifel and the Hunsrück ranges to reach the Rhine River at Koblenz. The Moselle receives the Saar River near Trier. The Moselle Canal, built in 1964, made the river navigable for 1500-ton barges between Metz and Koblenz. The canal is overseen by representatives of France, Luxembourg, and Germany, and is a symbol of peace among them.
