Bench with a view of the Moselle Valley vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

In itself a well walkable path. Occasionally there are slates on the way. When wet, caution is required due to the risk of slipping. If there is snow the ground is not recognizable and the path becomes risky.

A nice change for children if you walk up the path to the chapel here.

Iron-rich spring with shelter and rest area

Highlight • Natural Monument

This sour spring is beautifully framed. The water is certainly not to everyone's taste. But the rest area next to it is in a beautiful landscape. Accessible via the Tatzelwurmweg.

A very nice hike from Kobern Gondorf train station. Great viewpoints. Benches to relax on. Also a small historic old town. I'd love to do it again.

The hike began in the quiet alleys of Kobern-Gondorf and led steeply up into the vineyards. With every meter gained in altitude, the view opened up further over the Moselle valley. Between vines and old walls, there was a tranquility as if the landscape had forgotten its own time.
The Niederburg stood weathered above the valley, caressed by the wind …

Today, thanks to the cooler weather, we were able to run a slightly longer route that was a bit more strenuous. But this tour was just great!!! Thank you komoot for that.
