Day 1: Individual journey to Zell

Day 3: from Neef to Ediger-Eller "Cat's jump to the Calmont" (Moselsteig Trail stage 16)
Length: 8 km, Difficulty: demanding
Today, the Moselsteig Trail takes you from Neef to Ediger-Eller on the shortest of the 24 stages. It's a short eight-kilometre hike, but it's a tough one: you climb the steepest vineyard in Europe. For all sure-footed hikers, the tour can be combined with the famous Calmont via ferrata.
Day 4: from Ediger-Eller to Beilstein "Visiting Bacchus" (Moselsteig Trail stage 17)
Length: 18.3 km, difficulty: challenging
Vines, vines, vines - today the Moselsteig Trail clearly shows what characterizes the region. Entertaining way stations and great views provide variety. The path through Briedern Switzerland presents nature at its finest. Beilstein, the "Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle", is the highlight with its castle, Carmelite church and half-timbered backdrop.
Day 5: from Beilstein to Cochem "Where Apollo flutters" (Moselsteig Trail stage 18)
Length: 13.2 km, difficulty: medium
The last stage of your Moselle hike impresses with magnificent path passages, most of which offer great views and insights into the Moselle landscape directly on the steep slope.
