During our communal dinner, our hiking guide will present the program for the coming days. Those arriving early have the opportunity to explore the charming town of Kattenes with our tour guide starting around 2:30 pm. One of the highlights is the gorge-like Valley of the 13 Mills, where well-preserved 19th-century mills can still be admired. In recent years, many have been painstakingly restored and equipped with information panels. Another remarkable highlight is the altar in St. Anne's Church, hewn from a single stone – one of the last three such altars in Europe, dating from 1667.

On the second day, we'll take a circular hike in Hatzenport. A short train ride will take us there. We'll start by walking uphill along a narrow path and will eventually be rewarded with a fantastic view. Along the way, we'll enjoy impressive vistas of the Moselle Valley, Hatzenport, and St. John's Church. We'll hike on some rather rustic paths, reach the striking Rabenlay viewpoint with its breathtaking panorama, and finally explore the fascinating Schrumpftal valley with its enchanting charm. Back in Kattenes, there's an optional opportunity to sample various Rieslings at an organic winery.

Today we'll take the train to Kobern and begin our hike on the narrow, winding path at the rectory. Along the way, we'll already be treated to beautiful views of the Moselle Valley. Reaching a high plateau, we'll immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of viticulture. The trail leads us down into the valley to the Gerlachsmühle mill and on into the enchanting Keverbach Valley with its idyllic woodland and babbling brooks. Passing the hamlet of Solligerhof, a diverse landscape unfolds, offering panoramic views, flowering hedgerows, and cool, mature forests. A particular highlight is the Matthias Chapel with its exceptional architecture, reminiscent of churches in Spain or Portugal. The hike concludes with a visit to the ruins of Niederburg Castle, a well-preserved castle complex above Kobern. There will be an opportunity for refreshments in Kobern before we return to the hotel by train.

On day four, we'll hike from Karden to the Boxwood Trail, Eltz Castle, and finally to Moselkern or Müden. Our hike begins in Treis-Karden, and we'll take a short, steep path into the heart of nature, where wild boxwood stands are particularly impressive. Along the edge of the hillside and through steep vineyards, we can enjoy views of the Krailsbach Gorge. A special highlight awaits us at Eltz Castle, a landmark of German history. This high medieval castle lies hidden in the Elzbach Valley and captivates visitors with its imposing architecture. After a photo stop, the hike continues along the Elzbach stream, past the Ringelstein Mill, and ends either in Moselkern or the wine village of Müden.

On day five, we take a short half-hour train ride along the Moselle River to hike the Cochem Knights' Trail. The hike begins with a steep climb to the Pinnerkreuz (Pinner's Cross). There, a fantastic view of Cochem Castle awaits us. Along the path through light oak forests, following the Endertbach stream, impressive vistas and tranquil spots to linger are constantly offered. A break at the 13th-century Winneburg Castle ruins allows us to step back in time to the age of knights. The second half of the circular hike leads through picturesque forests and offers more breathtaking panoramic views. At Hubertushöhe, we can once again enjoy the view of Cochem Castle, one of the most beautiful vantage points on the Moselle. The castle was renovated in the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style after having been previously destroyed.

On the penultimate day of the trip, we start at the hotel and hike the first part of the trail to Löf. The hike offers stunning views of the Moselle Valley and diverse landscapes with unique flora and fauna. From Löf, the train takes us to Lehmen. The second stage of the Würzlaysteig trail leads us back to our hotel. The Ausoniusstein viewpoint is the highlight of the tour.

In the morning it's time to say goodbye. For those who would like to stay longer on the Moselle, we can provide tips on places worth visiting (e.g., Trier, Germany's oldest city) or further hikes.
