Geography
Location
Located in a wide, natural amphitheater of the Moselle valley, the wine of the commune of Klüsserather Bruderschaft is deemed to be a classical, southward, precipitous vineyard. About 90 hectares 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 undercut slope to the river Moselle a distance of 2 kilometres. The long parallel streets are linked through small alleys. The stretching of Klüsserath has proverbial character: "So lang wie Klüsserath".Near Klüsserath the river Salm flows into the Moselle.
The federal road "B53", formerly known as "Mittelmoselstraße", runs between the village and the Moselle River on a flood protection embankment, built from 1927 to 1933.
