We also included the Altusknipp with its summit cross in the tour and it was worth it. Otherwise, the highlight is the Kommern half-timbered houses.

I already knew parts of this tour, but it doesn't matter. I've always wanted to walk it all the way. I decided to walk in the wrong direction, past an old bomb crater, the Jewish cemetery and then very quickly came through the beautiful old town of Kommern. At the crossroads of the Bleibach, the path marking was then missing. …

Due to construction work and closures, we shortened the tour by almost a km (corner of Schaven)

A plan is a plan was a plan...
I wanted to go to the Moselle today, but I slept so badly that I couldn't get up early.
