The River "Mosel" in Germany Part I

Hi there. With this script I want indroduce to you one of my favorite place in Germany.

A part of the river "Mosel".

More than 60 years ago a was born in the vicinity of this area. I'm now retired

and trying to improve my English skills which have been worsen in the last years.

So, if there are mistakes in the words or grammar I would welcome every correction.

I hope you will not hesitate to do so.

The River *Mosel*

The source of the river is in France. It is flowing through 3 countries: France, Luxembourg and Germany.

It joins the river "Rhine" at the city of Koblenz.

In Germany the river is winding extremely in all cardinal directions and embedded in steep slopes.

The part of the river I want to write about is located nearby the City of "Cochem".

In this part the river represents its beautiful landscape and wine-growing area..

As a populare tourist destination it attracts lots of visitors from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

They all appreciate the richness of offered free time activities. Hiking, cycling and water sports are the most populare among them all.
Hiking paths in the uplands around the river as well as trails along the river banks inviting lots of hikers. Cyclists can choose among mountain biking and biking excursiones on cycleways on both sides of the
river.

What a wonderful place. I don't know how you pronounce the place, but can I call it 'Morsel - the small amount or piece' :D :D?

This is good HJ, the blogs on Geography always interest me. You didn't have too many mistakes to discuss. I can say my favorite place but for the plural,we are talking about places. So,"one of my favorite place in Germany" should be changed to one of my favorite places in Germany". You also wrote a was born when you meant to say I was born.
Good work and thanks for telling us about this place? Do you have some more pictures you could add?

Thank you for the advice. Of course this sounds better.

You could use the verb "worsen" instead of the adjective/adverb "worse" in the sentence.

So you can say "...my English skills which have been worsening for the past few years."

Doesn't it sound better now?

Thank you for your comments!

@Expector Smith
So you mean it's better to write "My english skills have got worse in the last years"
Would this be OK?

Nice writing! Thanks for sharing.

It sounds like such an amazing place to explore.

Re correction: In this sentence: "my English skills which have been worsen in the last years", there's a common error, can you spot it? Tip: "Worsen" is a verb. Don't confuse "worsen" with "worse". It might be a typo, though.
