Traumpfad Hatzenporter Laysteig

A magnificent combination: the Hatzenporter Laysteig playfully blends wine culture with fabulous views, leading from the steep rock faces of the Moselle slopes to the gentle expanse of the high plateau and through dreamy woodland sections (approx. 12 km, 4 hrs, 400 metres of ascent).

To round things off, you can optionally add a sporty finale on the via ferrata at the Dolling!

Traumpfad Bergschluchtenpfad Ehrenburg

The Bergschluchtenpfad offers nature at its finest: spectacular landscapes, steep Moselle slopes, deep rocky gorges and lively streams, plus the medieval, wildly romantic Ehrenburg (approx. 19 km, 6 hrs, 880 metres of ascent).

If you start the walk in Nörtershausen, then approx. 12 km, 4 hrs, 400 metres of ascent.

Traumpfad Bleidenberger Ausblicke

The clue is in the name!

Castles were often built at the finest viewpoints, and this Traumpfad likewise serves up regal views over the Moselle valley, mighty rock walls with a deep canyon, and leads in the footsteps of Celts and knights to Burg Thurant and the pilgrimage church of Bleidenberg (approx. 13 km, 4½ hrs, 540 metres of ascent).

Traumpfad Schwalberstieg Niederfell

What makes this walk so appealing is the mix of tranquil forest sections and view-rich passages across the Moselle plateau. Far from everyday hustle and bustle, partly jungle-like paths lead through stream valleys to exposed viewpoints (approx. 13 km, 4½ hrs, 400 metres of ascent).

Traumpfad Koberner Burgpfad

From the Celtic Goloring to the late Romanesque Matthiaskapelle, the Koberner Burgpfad promises a truly fairy-tale walk through unspoilt woodland, over wooden boardwalks across streams and through picturesque vineyards (approx. 17 km, 5 hrs, 450 metres of ascent).

Traumpfad Eltzer Burgpanorama

From the wide-open Moselle high plains down into the Elzbach valley, murmuring waters accompany this Traumpfad, which reaches one of the most-visited attractions of the Middle Ages – Burg Eltz, its towers proudly reaching for the sky – a trail with challenging mountain sections and princely far-reaching views

(approx. 13 km, 4 hrs, 300 metres of ascent).
