Beautiful views, Roman paths & Moselle wines
An incredible combination of panoramic views, nature and culture are offered on both of these quality footpaths. From the delightful, little wineries in the border triangle, you will discover the charming Moselle and Saar scenery along from the old Roman roads until you get to Trier. This pleasant metropolis by the river Mosel charms its visitors with its lively old town and 9 UNESCO world heritage sites, which you will explore whilst on a circular walk through Trier. A boat ride on the Mosel offering many panoramic views is a must before you continue your week’s walk with a magnificently diverse stage along the Eifel Trail through wild and romantic nature and finally by crossing a suspension bridge into the idyllic Kyll valley.
Details about the hiking holiday on the Moselle and Eifel Trail
What you absolutely must have experienced on the Moselsteig and Eifelsteig Trail? The views over the rivers Moselle and Saar, the old Roman roads and the historic city of Trier. Just like the boat tour on the Moselle or a wine tasting at one of the numerous wineries. But basically, with Eurohike, you determine the pace of your hiking holiday. This leaves enough time for breaks and relaxing hours of leisure.
Worth knowing about hiking holidays on the Moselle and Eifel Trail
In the small wine-growing community of Perl in the Saarland, you will get a foretaste of the next few days of hiking, where you will visit one small town after the other. The following days you leisurely hike high above the river – covering about 8 to 20 kilometres a day. The routes are easy to manage, longer stages can be shortened using public transport. Thanks to the extensive route material from Eurohike, you always know about the current stages and can also plan detours off the scheduled route.
You set off on your week’s walking holiday from the small wine growing district, Perl in the Saarland and you then walk along the river Mosel, which is only separated from the Luxemburg’s border town, Schengen, by the river Mosel itself.
Hotel example: Hammes
The start of your week’s walk gives you a view across the border triangle to Luxembourg and France. Your route takes you from the delightful wine-growing region via quaint forests and extensive fields in the Palatinate wine village, Palzem, which welcomes you with famous wineries and extensive vineyards. There you will meet again the river Moselle and enjoy a glass of the best Elbling wines.

Today you will switch from the Moselsteig to the Eifelsteig. It is the final stage on this walking holiday and it would be pretty tricky to offer more highlights than on this tour. Impressive natural monuments like the well-known Genoveva and Klausen caves or the view of the Kyll river meanders and the imposing Burg Ramstein are all waiting for you on today’s walk through the romantic Butzerbach valley. Return to Trier by train on your own.
