A really nice hiking trail with a crisp climb. But you will be rewarded at the top with a wonderful view. In addition to the box trees, there is a small cave and a small waterfall to marvel at. We took the quick route back along the Moselle because it was already getting dark.

SHORT, CRISP, BEAUTIFUL.🤗
A decent climb with stairs, switchbacks and single trails 👍. At the entrances there are signs indicating the climb and sturdy shoes and surefootedness are required. You should have enough water with you.🤪
Because we had to go back to the car, we walked the last 3 km along the B 416 (we couldn't find an alternative) …

We are glad that we started from Karden. The route the other way around would probably have been more difficult because of the slate on the descent. A walking stick has helped in many situations.

Today I took the train (RB 81, hourly service) from Müden to Karden, and then hiked back via the Boxwood Trail.

First, a steep path leads non-stop up to the Kompuskopf summit, where I spent some time watching a stranded tanker attempting to free itself.

The boxwood path leads beautifully over the Moselle heights between Karden and Müden. It is also part of the Moselsteig and is marked accordingly. The advice at the start of the tour about good footwear and surefootedness is entirely justified. Wire ropes are stretched on the particularly steep section to ensure greater safety. The path was a lot of fun …
