Highlight • River

The whole Elz is a single highlight. Small water whirlpools, floodplains, smaller waterfalls. Just beautiful!

Stone Bridge over the Elzbach

View of Burg Eltz

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the way to or from Müdenerberg, the vegetation opens at one point and gives the view of the castle Eltz free.

View of the Moselle Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the steep slate slopes of the Moselle deep below is sometimes almost dizzying.

Buchsbaumpfad via ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

It's really steep and once I was really hanging on the ropes because I have no climbing experience at all, but it was sooooo much fun! Highly recommended, but only …

September 20, 2024,Moselkern: Burg Eltz Runde

From the car park at the western end of Moselkern, the path goes steeply up behind the railway bridge, first through the forest, into the vineyards. Then with a beautiful view of the valley, over to the wine village of Müden and over a crossroads up to the Müdener Höhe. Here, over fields and back into the forest. Always slightly …

August 21, 2022,Wanderung 21.08.2022 Etappe 20 von Treis- Karden nach Moselkern- Moselsteig 🙋‍♂️🥾🌞😊

Today we preferred the 20th stage of the Moselsteig from Treis-Karden to Moselkern due to time constraints. We started this morning from the train station in Treis-Karden. First it went steeply up the box tree path to the Kompuskopf viewing platform. From there we had a fantastic view of the deep Moselle valley and the town of Treis-Karden. Then it …

A beautiful tour! Unfortunately, the boxwood climbing trail and path have suffered greatly. Here in the largest wild boxwood stand north of the Alps, the moth was unfortunately active. Almost all the trees are affected... how sad! How wonderful it must have looked when everything was green! Hopefully, nature will recover. An absolute highlight today: Eltz Castle! I skipped the …

First we visited a nature reserve in the vineyards before we left for the castle. In addition, the oldest still active geocache in Germany was visited. In the evening …

Great stage!

Eltz Castle is always worth a trip anyway, but the hike was wonderful in other respects, over steep, narrow paths, the box tree path, through the forest, the Elzbachtal and some great views of the Moselle, even if it was foggy at first....
The two start and destination Treis-Karden and Moselkern are historical, picturesque and really beautiful.

November 22, 2025,Moselsteig von Treis-Karden nach Moselkern

The final leg – the stages between Moselkern and Koblenz – was my introduction to the Moselsteig trail. Joy at reaching the finish line and a touch of melancholy for all the wonderful moments now behind me. The Moselsteig once again showed itself in its best light: narrow paths, sweeping views over the Moselle, and, as the crowning glory, the …

September 16, 2025,Eifel- Moselsteig - Burg Eltz

Eltz Castle – well hidden in the middle of the forest on a rocky outcrop – this high medieval castle from the 12th century is imposing, graceful, and undamaged. Thanks to the skillful politics and clever diplomacy of the Lords of Eltz, the castle was spared destruction during the great wars of the 17th century, making it one of the …
