Moselsteig Trail from Bernkastel-Kues to Traben-Trarbach - Stages 11 and 12
Would you like to get to know the Moselsteig Trail, Germany's most beautiful long-distance hiking trail in 2016? On two stages between Bernkastel-Kues and Traben-Trarbach, you have the opportunity to do so.
The Bernkastel-Kues vacation region on the Moselle has long been synonymous with pure hiking pleasure. The spectacular cultural landscape, the enjoyable wines from the Riesling steep slopes, the impressive river bends and the romantic villages and towns: the ideal region for a varied and relaxing hiking vacation. The new Moselsteig Trail will add another attraction to the Moselle landscape, which is rich in cultural and natural highlights.

Day 1: Individual journey to Bernkastel-Kues
Ideally, you should arrive in your own car. Take your time and visit the Landshut castle ruins, the Spitzhäuschen or the medieval market square
Day 2: from Bernkastel-Kues to Ürzig "The Cistercians and the wine" (Moselsteig Trail stage 11)
Length: 17 km, difficulty: medium
From Bernkastel-Kues, the Moselsteig Trail leads you to fantastic views along the edge of the slope. Only in Zeltingen-Rachtig do you come into contact with viticulture, which was once significantly developed in Machern Monastery, a former monastery estate dating back to the 12th century. After a short stopover, you reach Ürzig, your destination for today.
Day 3: from Ürzig to Traben-Trarbach "On the paths of the Sun King" (Moselsteig Trail stage 12)
Length: 15.1 km, difficulty: medium
The rather leisurely stage to Traben-Trarbach presents itself with a variety of landscape impressions. Woods and copses alternate with meadows and vineyards and you come into contact with slate again and again. At the end, you will hike on historical ground, as a proud fortress once stood enthroned on Mont Royal in Traben-Trarbach.
Day 4: individual departure from Traben-Trarbach
Your hiking tour ends after breakfast. You can organize your departure individually or take advantage of our convenient return transfer service, which will take you back to your starting point. Advance booking is required.
