Schweich healing fountain

Highlight • Natural Monument

As the name suggests, there's a spring with excellent water near the small chapel. So when your bottles are empty, be sure to walk or drive past.

September 7, 2023,Wanderung 07.09.2023 Moselsteig-Seitensprung Meulenwaldto(u)r Schweich 🙋‍♂️🥾🌞😊
Went the Moselsteig side jump Meulenwaldto(u)r Schweich this morning. The start and finish was the train station in Schweich. A tour in glorious weather, mainly through shady forest. 95% of the route was on a forest motorway, which I personally didn't like that much. I was irritated by the "Meulenwald Moselblick" vantage point. Very nice view, but I couldn't even …

Today's tour took me to a lesser-known part of the Moselle, the Meulenwald. The first half was not very spectacular. From the viewpoint onwards it became more interesting. All in all a pleasant tour. Hardly any people around.

Very nice hike. Highly Recommended. Pure nature and totally decelerating.

A beautifully designed square with a bench awaits us at the starting point of our tour. We have to try them out before we set off. Through a meadow landscape, past paddocks, we hike to the Haardthof. It goes into the Meulenwald. The path leads slightly uphill, we get a first view of the Moselle valley. We continue to the …

Today I boarded the RE1 regional train at Koblenz main station and got off in Schweich to hike the Moselsteig side trail there. When I hiked the Galgenkopf loop trail a week ago, it was still quite foggy in the region. On today's hike, it was lightly raining. However, that wasn't a reason for me to skip the hike. Anyone …

After the 7th stage of the Mosel Camino, I took a short detour along the Moselsteig... I took my time and took a few breaks... This detour wasn't anything special, but it did include some nice single trails... and a nice bench where I took a longer break. 😴

Comfortable, not too difficult route with little climb.
