Circular hike over the two certified hiking trails Kluckertspfad detour and Moselsteig stage 12 on both sides of the Mosel.
On this day route you can experience both sides of the Mosel. From Wolf, it goes up to the castle ruins of Mont Royal. Then follows a moderate section over the Mosel heights with many great views of the Mosel valley. After the descent into the wine village of Kinheim, the Mosel is crossed again and the last section is hiked on the Kluckertspfad detour past the Kluckerter Brook with a former Roman mill wheel. Shortly before the end of the route, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Mosel valley from the monastery ruins of Wolfer Kloster once again.
