My attempt to use Komoot to plan a tour with all the sights relevant to my family and me worked. It turned out to be a nice short walk. However, I had forgotten to put my mobile phone on pause in the cathedral, so that Komoot put about 1 km on it, which we didn't walk. With that, Trier is …

At the beginning of the walk, it was sunny, but a bit chilly. Then it became increasingly cloudy and the wind picked up, making it feel even colder.

The first part of the walk through the city center was still quite busy, but after that, it became much quieter.

One day is hardly enough to visit Trier on the Moselle (oldest city of 🇩🇪). The monuments from Roman times (when Trier was the imperial residence) are very impressive. But the cathedral, some churches and the entire old town are also well worth seeing. Unfortunately, the time was far too short to visit the museums (e.g. Landesmuseum)!
