September 27, 2021,CochemCond-Klotten- Pinnerkreuz- Cochem 18 Geocach's 27.09.2021

Short hike from the parking lot in Cochem Cond.
Where we could find 18 geocach's.
Since, according to the internet timetable, the Klotten ferry should no longer run, which turned out to be wrong on site, we chose the route down the B49 to Klotten. Figure 8 shows the ferry in operation and Figure 10 shows the ferry times.

April 6, 2025,Von Klotten über den Rheinsteig nach Cochem, bm

Today we're off to Cochem for the spring Easter market. On the way there, we followed the Moselsteig Trail, which is beautifully landscaped – many viewpoints, well-kept vineyard cottages, and information boards with insights into winemaking made the hike varied and entertaining.

May 20, 2026,Klotten - Cochem - Pinnerkreuz!

Right at the beginning in Klotten, it goes steeply uphill, past the Coraidelstein castle ruins, which majestically tower over the vineyards.
The path continues up onto the high plateau to the 19th-century Seitskapelle. As soon as you branch off from the heights, you suddenly enter a completely different world: the path becomes narrow, wild, and almost ravine-like. In the shade …

November 28, 2024,Ansicht-Reichsburg-Cochem – Pinnerkreuz Runde von Cochem (Mosel)

The tour was actually planned differently, but after the ascent to the Pinnerkreuz took me over the border and sometimes on all fours due to the way the path was arranged, I decided to take a different route for the descent.
For inexperienced hikers and hikers who have problems with balance, I recommend checking whether there are other better-developed paths …

A beautiful day of hiking with friends 🥾🌞 along the high trail from Klotten to Cochem. A stop at the Pinnerkreuz (Pinner Cross) offers a fantastic view of the town, which is already very busy with day-trippers and holidaymakers. From the cross, we descend to the chairlift station. The path is sometimes slippery due to gravel and stones. Sturdy shoes …

April 13, 2024,Dortebachtal über Cochem zurück nach Klotten

Why wander far away.....?
We had our eye on the Dortebachtal for a long time. But as is often the case, you push aside what is on your doorstep. Stupid😂 A fantastically beautiful stream valley with a waterfall in Klotten on the Moselle. Steep uphill, over narrow forest paths, the sound of the waterfall as accompaniment for a while. Once …

April 11, 2022,MOSEL: Von Klotten zur Reichsburg Cochem - 🍇🍷☀️

This morning we packed our things and drove off to the Moselle. For us it is the first holiday for three in the Moselle area. From our hotel in Klotten we went uphill to the "Klotti" amusement park. From there moderately downhill to the Pinnerkreuz and from there steeply downhill to the center of Cochem.
So today we have again …
