The Moselle (French: Moselle; German: Mosel; Luxembourgish: Musel) is a river that flows from northeastern France to western Germany through Luxembourg. It is a left bank tributary of the Rhine, which it joins at Koblenz. Its length is 545 km (339 mi). The source of the Moselle is located 715 m (2,346 ft) above sea level on the Col de Bussang, on the western slopes of the Ballon d'Alsace in the Vosges Mountains, France. For 39 km (24 mi) it forms the border between Germany and Luxembourg. The three most important tributaries of the Moselle are the Meurthe, the Saar and the Sauer.

Ehnen (Luxembourgish: Éinen) is a small town in the commune of Wormeldange, in south-eastern Luxembourg, separated from Germany by the Moselle River. As of 2005, the town has a population of 504. It houses the Moselle Wine Museum.
