February 18, 2025,Rund um die Sonneninsel

The start and finish is the small town of Minheim, very well signposted, and you can take a relaxed hike here. It's best to take a bottle of wine from the vending machine beforehand and enjoy it at …

The route is part of an educational wine trail with many information boards. The views of the Moselle are magnificent. We …

June 25, 2024,🌾 Moselgold & Weitblick – Rundtour mit Loreley-Flair

This tour was a true Mosel highlight: perfect weather, golden fields, blooming poppies – and, in between, quiet spots with panoramic views. From the Wetterstein via the Eichhaus to the Moselloreley, history, nature, and enjoyment were perfectly combined. The tour was varied, easy to walk, and full of little discoveries.
