High atop Pinnerberg Mountain stands the Pinner Cross, a vantage point offering a magnificent view of the Moselle Valley. Its name comes from a shepherd who, while saving one of his lost animals from a fall, lost his life in the process. The cross was erected in his memory. The view of the town of Cochem with its Reichsburg Castle and the entire Moselle loop is impressive.

The cross is approximately 18 meters high and consists of a cross spire, a shaft, and a base. High up on the Pinnerberg, which is easily accessible by the Cochem chairlift, stands the Pinner Cross, a vantage point with a magnificent view of the Moselle Valley. The name goes back to a shepherd who tried to save one of his lost animals from falling and lost his life in the process. The cross was erected in his memory.

The route is great, a clear recommendation if you think you can do it.

The Moselle loop near Bremm is the most famous of the many river bends of the Moselle. The Stuben monastery ruins and the Petersberg in the background complete the picture. You can look directly at it from the Calmont summit - and also a little below, i.e. from the via ferrata.

The Calmont is an almost 400 meter high steep vineyard with a 65 degree slope. The Calmont via ferrata leads up and down through the vineyard over narrow, partly rooty and numerous rocky passages. Difficult passages are equipped with rock steps, rope safety devices, 6 steel ladders, 22 iron brackets and 16 stepping pins.

From this vantage point you have one of the best valley views of the Moselle loop.

The Calmont via ferrata is more of a mountain trail than a via ferrata. Passages of the "via ferrata" are made safer with handrails, ladders, step bars and stepping pins. However, hikers who are not sure-footed also have the option of bypassing the short section of the "via ferrata".
