May 26, 2025,Von Reil zur Marienburg Teil 2 . 🍇🍷

After the recording failed in Part 1, it worked well in Part 2. A truly beautiful hike with beautiful views and a very rustic stop at the Drieschhütte.

June 6, 2022,Im Regen 🌧️ rund um die Marienburg 🏰

A very nice Moselle tour...
Listed as a tour on RLP Gold but not signposted. So without Komoot we would have been stuck.
A few highlights await on this tour. So the lookout tower Prinzenkopf and the Marienburg.
Unfortunately no gastronomy along the way except for a hut serving food near the tower. There are a few options for this …

This hike is perfect and has everything you need for a successful hike: shady forests, narrow paths in between, a lookout tower with a spectacular view that is in no way inferior to that of the Moselle loop, always wonderful views of the Moselle and castles and an opportunity for a hearty drink Stop at a winemaker's hut.
From the …

December 4, 2022,Rund um die Marienburg - ab Reil

So if a tour is already completely exciting in this foggy, cloudy weather, then we will definitely do it again next year when the weather is better and visibility is good.
We parked under the bridge in Reil on the Mosel. A bit along the route of the Moselle wine railway it goes steadily uphill, we keep stopping and enjoying …

March 8, 2022,Moselsteig: Etappe 14 & 15 1/2 - Von Reil über Zell nach Bullay (Ausversehen gespeichert, es geht sofort weiter)(K)

Oddly enough, Komoot stopped the recording and instead of continuing recording, I clicked on stop recording. But since I had saved the original route, I restarted the recording as a new route. The stages had a total of 23.5 km & 700 meters in altitude. And this time, too, I am enthusiastic about the Moselsteig. That's just great. The stages …

February 26, 2025,Wanderung Moselsteig von Bullay-Reil

Everything was planned differently. I actually wanted to run the stage from Ürzig to Traben Trarbach. The RE1 from Saarbrücken to Wittlich was half an hour late. The stops were displayed incorrectly. 😅So I got off in Bullay. That's over 20 km from Traben Trarbach. Then I ran in the other direction, but first had to climb up the 2 …

✌️ Hey, I'm Steffi and I'm hiking the Moselsteig with my family for six days. Eurohike Hiking Tours organized this trip. Of course, we still have to walk ourselves 😜.

👉 We started today at lunchtime in Bullay. From there we took the Moselweinbahn to Reil. From the town of Reil we then took the Moselsteig for almost 9 km …

April 21, 2026,3- Schleifenblick vom Prinzenkopf, Marienburg, Burg Arras (😍Mosella😍)(K)

This time I put the tour together myself, met three "old acquaintances" again: the Moselsteig, Moselhöhenweg & the Moselcamino 😁🧙‍♂️... right in the middle of the tour, @Komoot crashed again. Since I know the area, I just went off on a whim... the tour was planned for about 10km... it became a bit more because of that... always beautiful along …
