Directions
Across the meadow at the Bartholomaeus hut you will come to a small path which leads you to the uppermost vineyard path at the edge of the valley. Above the vineyards of Zeltingen-Rachtig you walk on and on. On the way you will see, among other things, the big white cross, "Three Firs", bridge piers of the Hochmosel bridge and the scout's home of the "Deutschherrenstamm". Here you hike down the hairpin bends, further between vineyards and meadows and then cross a bridge of the feeder road to the Hochmosel crossing (B50 new).Just after the bridge you do not enter the forest, but follow a path down to a small stream. The path continues past orchards, vineyards and meadows to the Lösnicher Chapel. From here you walk uphill. From the forest path a small path branches off to the right after a few metres in altitude. Follow this path over a small stream. Soon afterwards you continue on a forest path up to the Zeltinger Berg and over meadows and fields back to the starting point of the hike.Public transit
