Kröv, municipality of Germany
Kröv is a small village in Bernkastel-Wittlich region nestled along the Moselle River, surrounded by rolling hills covered with vineyards. The houses have narrow streets, steep roofs, and colorful facades, while the streets wind along the river creating a quiet, welcoming feel.
Kröv was first mentioned in written records in 862 and was originally a royal estate. Over the centuries, the village changed hands between different rulers and was part of the French Département de la Sarre before becoming Prussian.
Kröv takes its name from an ancient language and was once home to a royal estate, which you can still see reflected in the buildings around you. Wine making shapes daily life here: locals and visitors gather in cafes and taverns to chat over a glass, and during the grape harvest in summer, you regularly see workers moving through the vineyards.
The village is easily accessible by road, and a small railway station in Kövenig connects it to larger towns. Many visitors rent bikes to explore the vineyards and nearby villages at their own pace.
The Staffelter Hof is one of the region's oldest estates and has been operated for centuries, where visitors can still taste local grape varieties today. Kröv is also known through Baldur von Schirach, a historical resident whose simple grave bearing the inscription 'I was one of you' invites visitors to reflect on the village's past.
