This rest bench is hidden below the prince's head. It invites you to linger and dream. The cog railway with the vines in the foreground and the wide view of the Moselle and Kanonenbahn.

Today was another varied hike 👍😉

komoot played a trick on us. Of course we didn't walk the line A - B, so just ignore it.
This also reduces the length of the tour, it is just over 10 km.

The tour begins at a parking lot below Marienburg Castle. From here, the route continues over the Moselle Heights to the Prinzenkopf observation tower – with fantastic views over the Moselle Valley – and then on to Arras Castle. After a worthwhile(!) tour of the castle, the route returns to the starting point.

The circuit is not worth it, first over asphalt to the castle driveway, then over rather unkempt paths back to the starting point of this small loop. You don't …

Not really easy tour - partly very narrow paths with deep precipices

After spending the night in a tent at Moselcamping Alf, we headed to Bullay station. We were pleasantly surprised by what this area has to offer so concentratedly.
