Trail Reviews
I parked in the hiking car park at the Huxlay Hut. There is currently a diversion due to a landslide between the Huxlay Hut and Pölich. The route was varied and offered many beautiful views of the Moselle. I particularly liked the peace and quiet and the picturesque landscapes along the route.
A beautiful hike between forest and open fields, and on narrow paths lined with vineyards, and always with great views of the Mosel, Eifel and Hunsrück. It was fun, thank you Patricia for the tip 😊🙋🏻♀️
Today we started with the best hiking weather. This time to one of the side trips on the Moselle. The fall colors aren't quite there yet. Of course it's still nice. There was a lot of walking through the forest. About some supply routes, but also small trails. A great day. Finally, I found a small ostrich restaurant. 😃
After 20.3 km, I was back at the parking lot. The remaining kilometers are already part of the return journey. A video will follow on YouTube soon.
The wonderful weather☀️ used and off to the Moselle. The start was at the Huxlay Plateau hiking car park above Mehring.
For my standards got up early and then managed 20km. I filled up my drinking bottles at the Sauerbrunnen. By then, 2.2 l had already gone. Then almost 4 l needed to reach the destination. The tour can also be shortened in several places. But I had the ambition to go halfway the original route and make it. There were a few minor swerves. Otherwise almost as marked. Both were helpful today. Komoot pre-planning and path marking on site.
So that was a nice tour, but the signage is not good at a few points and I had problems with recording it 🙄 the tour is 20.9 km long
