Directions
From the parking lot at the "Domfreihof" in the district of Dhron you cross the bridge and walk directly behind the large slate house (passage as a footpath) to a mill stream. Passing the kindergarten, the Dhrontalweg runs through the street "Metschert". Cross another Dhron bridge to the Papiermühle junction. You leave the village and hike through the meadows of the Dhron valley.  When the farm path meets asphalt after about 5 kilometres, prepare for the return journey (or make a detour of about 500 metres to the district Papiermühle with refreshment facilities at the weekend). From the Papiermühle cemetery, you hike above (orchard) meadows to a crossroads, where you climb steeply up into the forest. You reach the so-called "Neumagener Plateau". Straight ahead you walk along the gliding field. At an intersection with an iron signpost there is a change of direction. Continue straight on along a dirt road, the last stretch to the edge of the forest on asphalt. Along the edge of the forest, a farm track leads to a beautiful view of the slate roofs of Dhron and further into the vineyards. Along the Talkante at the edge of the vineyards you descend again towards Dhron with a magnificent view of the Moselle. The road "In Folz" takes you back to the starting point at the Domfreihof in Dhron.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator
