General information
Directions
We start across the bridge to Kindel, continue straight ahead (hiking trail no. 8 and no. 13) to the Römerhang barbecue hut. At the next fork in the path about 100 m above the hut, turn right onto hiking trail no. 8 (signposted Bernkastel) (a slightly steeper ascent) to the Mosel Höhenweg (M). Then turn right and follow the "M" over the "Graacher Schanzen" (extensive fortification "Mont National", built in 1795, mostly overgrown with hedges). From here, a magnificent view of the Mosel valley with the Zeltingen dam stage awaits.
The "Iron Wine Menu" invites you to take a break. After that, continue downhill to Bernkastel.
