Eifel Rail Trail for Enjoyment

It couldn't be better: Perfect asphalt on the railway path, nice to look at through the trees and sheltered from the wind. Time and opportunity to enjoy!

Mill Trail in the Schrumpf Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you want to climb the slope from the Moselle up to the Maifeld in a particularly scenic way and as much as possible, the Shrink Valley is recommended! For cyclists, this also represents the connection between the Moselle cycle path in Hatzenport and the Maifeld cycle path in Münstermaifeld.

The 4.5-kilometer trail follows the Schrumpfbach stream, which flows from Münstermaifeld-Metternich through a valley rich in forests and meadows down to the Moselle. Fifteen mills are on the wayside - some in a deep sleep, others are successful examples of how ancient walls can be beautifully renovated, for example to accommodate comfortable holiday apartments.

Llamas have found a home in the wild nature of the shrink valley as well as eagle owls and salamanders. From the shrink valley you can also reach the small artist village Mörz with its beautifully renovated courtyards and the Café Toscana via a paved forest path. Every two years, instead of the forest silence, a happy Maifeld-Moselle adventure day attracts to the mill event “Schromb is fun”.

Entrance to Schrumpftal

Highlight • Trail

Drive under the railway bridge and you are already in the shrink valley, a side road that leads up to the Maifeld. As the road has an even and moderate incline and is mostly shaded, it lends itself to cycling. There is little traffic, but if a car does come, it gets pretty tight. At the weekend and during the holidays, there are also a few hikers in the Shrinking Valley with its picturesque mills, which you should watch out for.

Ferry Tower Hatzenport

Highlight • Monument

The landmark of the Moselle is the old ferry tower (cornerstone laying 1863). Since the 16th century important ferry service was set after the bridge construction in 1972 Löf / Alken. Also worth seeing are the old, above the village located Gothic parish church of St. John, the new, built in 1869/70 by Hermann Nebel Catholic parish church of St. Roch and the old rectory, a half-timbered building, which is located below the old church in the Oberstraße; There is an apple wine cellar there today.

View of Thurant Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cycling Olli
The ruin of Thurant Castle (also Thurandt) stands on a broad spur made of slate high above the village of Alken on the Mosel. It is located in the district of Mayen-Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate) and belongs to the type of spur castles. A special feature are - in addition to the location on the steep valley shoulder - the vineyards on the sunny side.
From the middle of the 13th century, the archbishoprics of Cologne and Trier were joint owners of the plant and managed their respective share of burgraves. Each half therefore had its own keep, its own residential and farm buildings and a separate entrance.
