Erdener Treppchen climbing trail

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The climbing route is short but it's a challenge! From the wine press, it goes steeply up, ladders and steel cables included. The way back is more leisurely via vineyard paths.
Moselle Valley: Popular circular hiking trail
Alpine climbing fun on the Moselle! This is what the well-known Erdener Treppchen vineyard offers.


The Erdener via ferrata is divided into three levels of difficulty. Hikers can choose whether they want to hike the green (2.9 km), yellow (3.8 km) or red (4.3 km) route. The respective colors are signposted throughout. On all paths, magnificent views of the Moselle Valley, a colorful variety of flora and fauna as well as small climbing units on the more challenging routes await.

Insights into the hiking tour:

An "alpine" experience: The challenging course of the climbing trail leads through the top vineyards "Erdener Treppchen" and "Prälat". You climb rocky outcrops and vineyard terraces using old vineyard paths and ladders. Your efforts are rewarded with magnificent views over the Moselle valley and a particularly colorful variety of flora and fauna such as stonecrop, wallflower and French maple. As part of the "Living Moselle Vineyards Initiative," this area has been awarded the title of "beacon of biodiversity."

Along the way and at the end, there are benches and tables for resting and relaxing. Afterwards, you can stop off at restaurants or inns (including wineries) in Erden.

The strenuous ascent on the almost alpine climbing path "Erdener Treppchen" is rewarded with spectacular views of the Moselle valley. The climbing path is probably the most beautiful hiking tour that you can do on the Middle Moselle. However, you need good shoes, a sure footing, a head for heights and good physical condition.

Ürzig Spice Garden

Highlight • Natural

Above the church of Ürzig there is a very large spice garden with Mediterranean and local herbs (the herb garden should not be confused with the vineyards of Ürziger Würzgarten). It can be accessed from various points and is well signposted.
