Sturdy footwear.
Hinkelstein → The Menhir of Trittenheim stands in a beautiful spot high above the Mosel, about 3 kilometers from the village (according to Trittenheim tradition it is called Eselstratt = Eselstritt, because of the round indentation at the lower part). You will find it if you walk from Trittenheim to the Laurentius Chapel and then take the path north through the vineyards. It stands about 1.5 kilometers after the chapel, at the edge of the Mosel cliffs to the left of the path in a small forest.
