Where some of the best Riesling wines of the Middle Moselle grow in the steep slate mountains along the Moselle front between Enkirch and Traben-Trarbach, the wine-growing community of Enkirch has established a well-signposted hiking trail.
For the hiker, it is a profound experience to get to know the difficult working conditions in our classic steep slopes, where vineyards have an incline of about 70%, the midday sun shines almost vertically, and the Riesling vines stand lush green even in summer thanks to their roots up to 8 meters deep.
The views from numerous resting benches into the Moselle valley landscape are overwhelming.
By train (Easter to October): take the Mosel-Wein-Bahn to the Kövenig stop, then the ferry to Enkirch. About 150m from the ferry to the starting point.
By bus to the Enkirch stop. About 150m to the starting point, information at https://www.vrt-info.de/
