Directions
The hike starts not far from the spa guest centre on the Kueser Plateau. From there, the route heads south towards Panoramastrasse. Cross the road and then turn slightly to the right. After crossing Dr.-Marx-Straße, the hiking trail runs through the forest, parallel to the Moselhöhenweg for a while. At the ‘Deutsche Eiche’, the path runs slightly northwards. We soon leave the forest, turn right and continue along the Moselhöhenweg.  After a short while, the houses on the plateau come into view again. Still on the Moselhöhenweg, we walk past the Moselhöhen clinic back to the starting point.
