Halfway up the forests of the Briedel Switzerland hiking area lies the Hindenburglay lookout point. A small pavilion sits enthroned on a rocky outcrop that protrudes from the steep, wooded slope of the narrow Moselle bend at Zeller Hamm.

Only the narrow hiking trails provide access to this magnificent spot. We sit quietly in the shade of old oak trees and enjoy the view down to the Moselle flowing past, with its vine-covered steep slopes and the houses of Briedel nestled in the narrow valley, while a flag flutters gently in the breeze above us.
