The ant path was well maintained this spring. It is now great to ride and is recommended.

Landshut Castle is an imposing ancient ruin and the prominent landmark of Bernkastel-Kues on the Moselle River. It houses an upscale restaurant with panoramic views and exorbitant prices.

Probably the best view of the Moselle loop and Bernkastel-Kues is from the keep of Landshut Castle (only when the restaurant is open and €1 is paid at the vending machine). But even from the castle courtyard, the view is breathtaking.

Coming from Bernkadtel-Kues, the path climbs steeply, mostly on cobblestones. But the view is amazing!

Here, the path descends steeply (or rather, ascends) on rough gravel. This section doesn't offer any great views either.

St. Paul's Church on the Paulsberg hill is nestled amidst magnificent vineyards overlooking the ancient Moselle valley. Until the 16th century, St. Paul's Church was the religious center of fourteen surrounding villages and a popular pilgrimage destination. It is arguably the oldest church in the region and served as a refuge for the population during the difficult times of the 1848 revolution. Source: https://www.lieser-mosel.de/paulskirche/

This ancient place of worship, originally dedicated to the Holy Cross, became a place of pilgrimage and a religious center for fourteen surrounding villages thanks to a relic of the cross. It served as the parish church of Lieser until the 16th century, when a new church was built in the center of the village. A hermit's dwelling has been documented since 1618, which still exists today and was inhabited until the middle of the 19th century. Over time, the patronage of the hermit Paul became established for the church. The oldest parts of the present church are likely the cross-vaulted sacristy and the west wing (portal marked 1617) with vestibule, former goat stable, and the hermitage above. Until the 18th century, the southern part of the west wing (vestibule and hermitage) was probably developed as a tower; today, there is a small turret above the nave. In 1718, construction began on the new choir and nave, which had become dilapidated. Source: https://www.pr-bernkastel
