Goldbachtal high route in Bernkastel-Andel on the Moselle

The starting point of this hike is Andel, a district of Bernkastel-Kues.

The Goldbach babbles through a pristine forest landscape in Andel. Smaller gold nuggets have repeatedly been found in the clear water here. A relaxing walk is still worthwhile today – even if finding gold is no longer likely...

Insights into the hiking route:

From Bernkastel-Andel, the path leads past a meadow area, then follows a steep climb along the Goldbach, where gold was supposedly mined in some places in the past. The gold miner's fountain at the very beginning of the hike recalls this time. This is why the Goldbach also gives its name to this hike. Along the way, there are benches and also a covered shelter to rest. In addition, there are great views of the Moselle valley, the most impressive from the "Wilhelmshöhe" and the Andel shelter.

There are no refreshment options along the route, so it is advisable to have a snack at the beginning or end of the hike in Andel or to carry packed food during the hike.
