The Steffensberg site is a 70-hectare, pure south-facing slope, mainly planted with "Riesling" vines. Due to the angle of solar radiation, ground warming is significantly more favorable than in the plain. The steepest slope is 70%.
The educational trail offers approximately 3.5 km of various information boards with interesting insights about the cultivation and growth of the grapevine, as well as the annual work processes of the winemaker in the vineyards.
Additionally, the circular hiking trail offers magnificent views of the town, the Moselle valley, and the charming side valleys.
The starting point is the Mardel bridge. From here, proceed uphill on the street "Im Bungert." From this point, follow the marking with the grape cluster on the path. At the pavilion, take a short break from the steep ascent (on the front side of the pavilion there are two old cult stones), then continue straight to the wine barrel (rest area). Downhill past the sundial, back to the starting point.
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 take line 333 (Moselbahn, Trier-Bullay) or line 720 (Bullay-Traben-Trabach) to the Enkirch stop. About 150m to the starting point.
