March 6, 2022,Moselsteig Etappe 2 - Palzem nach Nittel

After stage 1, it was a real walk AND the Moselle could finally be seen 😅

Our second stage on the Moselsteig trail was to our liking. From Palzem we went through the shady forest to Helfant, where we were able to admire the cathedral. After Wincheringen we made a small detour, which is not particularly worthwhile.

A primeval forest on the Moselle. Awesome! A jungle feeling on the Moselsteig Trail. And all without fearful creatures like snakes that strangle you or insects that want to suck you dry. What's left is a green hell through which the Moselsteig Trail winds. A wonderful passage through a nature reserve. Every step is enjoyable. The rest of the trail …

September 11, 2024,Gegen den Strom 😎

I have a new challenge. Take the €49 train ticket to somewhere and then walk to the next station and take the train 🚂 home again. I don't know what's more exciting: the train ride or hiking. 😂
The train really doesn't work very well and the service is hardly worth more than €49. I arrived at the Mosel half …

Today we went on the second stage 🥾 of the Moselsteig, a little shorter than the first but no less beautiful 🤗 Again we were able to experience great forest paths and beautiful views of the Moselle valley. Here, too, there were occasionally missing signposts or deviations in the GPS track, but in the end everything was fine and a …

June 16, 2022,Sarah‘s Tour - Palzem to Nittel (Mosel)

A wonderful day of hiking on the Upper Moselle with the nice @Sarah wandert☀️🥾 between Palzem and Nittel, the 2nd stage of the Moselsteig Trail, through the Elbling wine-growing region.
The refreshing Elbling is one of the oldest cultivated white wine vines in Europe. The winegrowers on the Upper Moselle refer to a 2000-year tradition of cultivation.
Lightness, liveliness and …

As badly and briefly as I slept in the hotel in Nittel, I could have also lugged a tent with me and even saved myself the one-hour delayed journey with the regional train to the start of the stage due to overhead line damage.😅
