Directions
The "Maare-Mosel-Radweg" crosses the "Trierer Straße" in the village of Platten. Follow the cycle path in the direction of Bernkastel-Kues for approx. 1.7 kilometres. Shortly before the cycle path passes the bridge over the Lieserbach, a small path branches off to the right, leading uphill to a forest path. Follow this forest path until you reach the village of Noviand. The trail zigzags through the village, then continues across the meadow past a farm. You reach the "Maringer Schweiz", the wooded steep slope on the lower Lieserbach. First you enjoy a beautiful valley view of Maring (Maring-Noviand is a double municipality) with the church and the "Honigberg" vineyard in the background. Then it's time to take the "Lieserpfad" literally - the name says it all. On narrow paths, elevated above the stream valley, you hike on to where the Lieser flows into the Moselle. It is now not far to the Moselle community of the same name.
