Loop
Rock climbing circuit in the vineyards on the Moselle, Rhineland-Palatinate
The start of this route is at the car park by the Lösnich bridge. The bus stop "Lösnich, Kreisverkehr" is also very close by.
The hike leads across the beautiful Moselle, from where the vineyards can already be seen. However, the route quickly climbs steeply uphill, secured and supported by steps and steel cables. Although it is a short climbing section, it is one that has a lot to offer. The rungs of a metal ladder require a head for heights. Again and again, the views of the magnificent vines of the top wines are enchanting. At the highest point, impressive views of the Moselle loop and Moselle shipping can be enjoyed.
Refreshments are available in Erden.
Highlights:
- marvellous view of the Moselle valley
