Burgruine Ramstein

Moselle Heights Trail

The almost 100 km long Moselhöhenweg has existed since 1910 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010. From Wasserbilligerbrück, however, this long-distance hike does not always run directly along the Moselle - as the name suggests - but cuts off some Moselle bends to reach beautiful vantage points and finally ends in the village of Heißer Stein.
