This route follows stage 22 of the Moselsteig, connecting Löf with the historic town of Kobern-Gondorf on a culturally fascinating and panoramic section. The hike leads via Alken to one of the oldest fortresses in the Moselle region, the imposing 12th-century Thurant Castle (Burg Thurant). Following a challenging ascent along the historic "Sieben-Fußfälle" Stations of the Cross, you will reach the Bleidenberg high plateau. In addition to a spectacular ridge path, a journey into prehistoric times awaits you here: a faithful reconstruction of a Homo erectus campsite featuring a massive iron sculpture of a prehistoric straight-tusked forest elephant. The renowned viewpoints of Hitzlay and the Mönch-Felix-Hütte offer magnificent vistas before the trail descends via steep switchbacks and crosses the Moselgoldbrücke into the destination of Kobern-Gondorf.
