Margens do Moselle

 

The Moselle is a river flowing through France, Luxembourg, and Germany. It is a left tributary of the Rhine, joining the Rhine at Koblenz. A small part of Belgium is also drained by the Moselle through the Our.
Its name comes from the Latin Mosella, meaning the "Little Meuse" (Mosa in Latin). The river gave its name to two French départements: Moselle and Meurthe-et-Moselle.

The source of the Moselle is at the western slope of the Ballon d'Alsace in the Vosges mountains. The Moselle flows through the Lorraine region, west of the Vosges. Further downstream, in Germany, the Moselle valley forms the division between the Eifel and Hunsrück mountain regions. Its total length from source to mouth is approximately 546 km.

 

Towns along the Moselle River are

• in France: Épinal, Toul, Pont-à-Mousson, Metz, and Thionville
• in Luxembourg: Schengen, Remich, Grevenmacher, and Wasserbillig
• in Germany: Trier, Bernkastel-Kues, Cochem, and Koblenz
