Something went wrong while saving the tour today 🙈.

Unfortunately, the original tour has been deleted.
Since I chose an already given route, I was able to combine it with my pictures.

But I had already taken a screenshot 🤗 so the original data can be seen on the first picture.

Great hiking trail with ups and downs. A bit more challenging at times, then a great view across the Moselle to Lieser, for example. At the end you can stop off at Machern Monastery. Very nice route

Even though the weather wasn't great today, it's always beautiful on the Moselle. We took our daughter to the train station in Wittlich, so it seemed like a good idea to go for a walk along the Moselle. 🥾🥾🥾🥾
