Location
Located in a wide, natural
amphitheater of the Moselle valley, the wine of the commune of "Klüsserather Bruderschaft" (confraternatity of Klüsserath) is deemed to be a classical, southward, precipitousvineyard . About 90hectare s of vineyards with up to 83% of acclivity make the site one of the largest contiguous southward slopes at the Moselle. The commune of Klüsserath - as a classical street village - runs from this undercutslope to the river Moselle a distance of 2kilometre s. The long parallel streets are linked through small alleys. The stretching of Klüsserath has proverbial character: "So lang wie Klüsserath" (As long as Klüsserath).Nearby Klüsserath the river Salm meets the Moselle.
The federal road "B53", formerly known as "Mittelmoselstraße" (Central Moselle Road), runs between the village and the Moselle River on a flood protection embankment, built from 1927 to 1933.
