travel description
Day 1
Own managed arrival to Bernkastel-Kues

Your hiking holiday begins in Bernkastel-Kues. Stroll through the medieval city. In the afternoon you will be greeted by the confectioner with a good cup of coffee and handmade chocolates or ice cream.

Day 2 - Hike Moselsteig Trail Stage 11
Bernkastel-Kues to Ürzig

At the beginning steadily uphill you get on this stage of the Moselsteig from Bernkastel-Kues over the slope edges with fantastic views of the Moselle to Ürzig. On the way you can learn something about types of fruit and vegetables in the variety garden in Zeltingen-Rachtig. Marvel at the high Moselle crossing and take a break with a hiking feast in the Machern Cistercian convent with its own brewery.

Day 3 - Hike Moselsteig Trail Stage 12
Ürzig to Traben-Trarbach

You leave the half-timbered village of Ürzig and walk past the oldest sundial in the Moselle valley to the castle hill. From here you have a far-reaching view of the Wittlich Valley and the Hunsrück. The Moselsteig Trail continues over the slate nature trail in Kröv and the old Mont Royal fortress to the Art Nouveau town of Traben-Trarbach.

Day 4 - Hike Moselsteig Trail Stage 13
Traben-Trarbach to Reil

The Moselsteig Trail takes you up steep serpentines to the Grevenburg ruins. You take a last look at Traben-Trarbach before you get to Enkirch with its many half-timbered houses. In your stage destination, Reil, rustic wine cellars and the famous Reiler wine from the hot stone await you.

Day 5 - Hike Moselsteig Trail Stage 14
Reil to Zell(Mosel)

The Moselsteig follows the traces of the old cannon railway and reaches the Prinzenkopf with its observation tower, from where you can see the Moselle several times. A loop in the nature trail and stairs take you to the Marienburg - a former Augustinian convent. Once in Zell, you can taste the wine from the famous Zeller Schwarze Katz vineyard and let the evening fade away comfortably.

You can arrive earlier or extend your vacation afterwards. You can reserve additional nights as a pre- or post-night stay when booking your trip. Should you wish to stay one more night in a location during your trip, please let us know using the comment field of your booking or give us a call.

Bed tax Guest tax
We would like to point out that some cities levy a culture tax or bed tax. The fees will be collected directly at your accommodation.

Short-term travel requests
Even short-term travel requests require a binding booking, as otherwise availabilities cannot be queried. If the trip is not possible due to a lack of availability, we will provide you with an alternative offer upon request. If you do not wish this, your booking will be canceled free of charge.

A booking confirmation / invoice is issued to the travel applicant for each booking. If you are traveling as a group, but would like separate invoices, please make separate bookings, stating a group name. Subsequent splitting of processes and invoices is not technically possible.

The down payment is 30% of the travel price plus insurance premium (if travel insurance is also taken out) after receipt of the booking confirmation. The remaining payment is due four weeks before the start of the journey. For bookings less than 6 weeks before the start of the journey, the entire travel price is due immediately.
