The Moselle valley with its steep slopes is very impressive, but the cycle path in the lower part leaves something to be desired🤷

The cycle path along the vineyards is quieter to cycle than the cycle path parallel to the road. The cycle path along the road is great for speeding. You have less noise and nicer views from the vineyard cycle path. Leads through Güls and Winningen, where a break and some sightseeing are also recommended. Beautiful idyllic places, at various festivals, such as this year's Gülser Blütenfest and 1250 year celebration, May 1st and others, there also the wutz is blocking in the illustrative.

This vantage point offers a fantastic view of the expansive Maifeld. Especially now in early summer, green fields, mown meadows, and somewhere a small village nestled among the hilly landscape.
