Directions

From the centre of the village (Bahnhofstraße) walk in the direction of the Römerbrunnen and the industrial estate. On farm tracks you walk further through vineyards. Below the weekend houses of Zimmet - halfway up - you will reach a small path leading through the hillside forest. You come across a forest path on which there are hardly any gradients to overcome at first. Only after a sharp bend at a stream, the path then climbs steeply uphill again through vineyards. You reach the high terrace and walk across the meadow to the L157, the course of which corresponds for a few kilometres to the former Roman road, which led from Bingen over the Hunsrück to Neumagen and on to Trier. Walk along the road until you reach the Schäferhof, which is known in the region for fruit growing and markets its own products in a farm shop. Along the L157, the path continues to Zimmet. From this settlement with residential and weekend houses you can enjoy the view of the Moselle bend of Minheim. Downhill the path then leads through the vineyards back to Piesport.
