Details of the hiking tour with Eurohike

Board the MoselweinBahn from Bullay and enjoy the ride through the valley to Traben-Trarbach. From here, hike to Grevenstein Castle and through the ruins before continuing to enchanting Enkirch. The next stage is all about the views: The Petersberg and the Calmont are calling out to be hiked. The latter is not only Europe's steepest vineyard, but also offers the best view of the Bremmer Bogen.

The last stage leads via the Pinnerkreuz into the Dortebachtal nature reserve. An impressive waterfall exudes - in the truest sense of the word - a fairytale atmosphere. The route continues through idyllic vineyards to Martberg, where you follow in the footsteps of the Romans and Celts. For centuries, this was a political centre, and you can visit it today. The tour ends in Treis-Karden, from where you will return home with many memories.

Highlights of the Best of Moselsteig hiking tour

• Fantastic vantage points: Whether Petersberg, Calmont or Pinnerkreuz - during the five days on the Moselle you will not only climb mountains (or take the shortcut via cable car), but also enjoy the most magnificent views of the region.
• Vineyards & traditional winegrowers' taverns: If there's one thing you shouldn't miss here, it's the world-famous wines. Whether Riesling, Müller-Thurgau or Pinot Noir - a glass or two just has to be tasted alongside the regional delicacies. Of course, the fine wines make perfect presents for those back home.
• Quiet villages with half-timbered houses: The charming gems along the tour could serve as the setting for a fairy tale. Numerous half-timbered houses and gastronomic gems mostly on or near the river banks - a must-see!
• Imposing castles, fortresses and palaces as far as the eye can see! In the Moselle valley, you don't have to hike far until you pass a historic wall. These will take you back to times gone by.
• Unique boxwood forest: This evergreen tree actually grows in more southerly regions. However, due to the mild climate and the "abundance of sunshine" on the Moselle, boxwood also grows here. By the way, it is particularly beautiful to look at in spring, when it bears its cluster-like blossoms.
