Almost three years ago, we explored the area between Hattingen, Sprockhövel, Wuppertal, and Velbert on the "Großer Wodantalsteig" (Great Wodantal Trail). Today, we were drawn back to the region, but I had changed the route, so this time we had a bit more Elfringhauser Schweiz and a bit more Paasbachtal

Instead of the Moselle, the Veldenz stream was the focus of today's hike. Very close to Lieser, a nearly 16-kilometer-long Moselsteig side trip, which had received very good reviews, had forced its way into our hiking plans. Our tour only measures 26 km because we hiked the approach and return journeys

Today we were drawn back to the starting point of our Moselsteig adventure (2022), Neumagen-Dhron. We stayed here for two weeks back then, so the place had a nostalgic feel for us.
From the public parking lot near the now-restored Roman wine ship, we set off on a very varied hike that would take us to

The Moselsteig Trail was once again our guiding thread for this hike, although the first few kilometers of the tour were planned to be free. Today, the day began with fog again, but the sun shone from midday onward, and the weather seemed to be going smoothly.
Despite only a 10%-20% chance of rain, we

Early this morning, we had to make last-minute arrangements because we learned that our hosts would be busy with the grape harvest for another day. Our offer of help was accepted, so we quickly stocked up at the bakery before embarking on a completely new experience.
For almost five hours, we harvested

The second day of our vacation began with fog, which unfortunately blocked any views of the Moselle in the morning. Yet, even in the morning, it was an interesting and beautiful hike because you simply perceive different things than in bright sunshine. The atmosphere on foggy forest paths, the otherwise

For my last four days of vacation of the year, the beautiful Moselle River will be back at the end of September. We'll be starting a few tours from a winery in the sleepy village of Lieser, surely reminiscing about our 2022 Moselsteig adventure.
For our arrival day, we had planned a relaxing walk around

From the conveniently located parking area for hikers in Bellinghausen, right off the A1 motorway, we first hiked down to the Eifgenbach stream, which we crossed, before continuing south of Dabringhausen through the Dhünn and Linnefe valleys. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, leading through
