Kesten Switzerland

The hiking trail starts in the romantic wine village of Kesten, about 8 km from Bernkastel-Kues. Many beautiful, lovingly restored half-timbered houses characterize the historic town center, which is surrounded by steep vineyards. The Moselle municipality is known for its magnificent Sauerbrunnen, from which Julius Caesar is said to have already drunk. Today, a footbath and rest areas are also located nearby.

Insights into the hiking tour:

A short and also easy hike, if it weren't for the steep short ascent through an abandoned vineyard at the end of the route. But this way you at least get to know the efforts required to manage the steep-slope vineyards at the Moselle. The length of the route is about 4 kilometers with mostly unobstructed views of the Moselle and the ships passing on the river.
