Interesting nature excursion in Rhineland-Palatinate.
It goes to the Briederner Switzerland on the beautiful Moselle. Start at the Moselle country inn. It follows the green banks to walk west just before the RV park where you will find some wineries and a guest house. So the beginning of the circular route is still very comfortable. It continues via Schellenberg and Waldeslust to the Moselle village of Beilstein. After a steep ascent, the well-known Metternich castle ruins await you here, surrounded by beautiful vineyards. Later it goes along a narrow path through the rocky, wooded steep slope that connects the towns of Beilstein and Briedern. Arriving back on the banks of the Moselle, you can return to the starting point refreshed and relaxed.
