Castles, vineyards, and the Moselle? The Moselsteig has not been around as long as the Eifelsteig and the Rheinsteig, for example, and not every hiker has heard of it. This makes the Moselsteig perhaps Germany's best-kept hiking secret. Follow in the footsteps of the Romans, discover the most beautiful vineyards and end your hiking days with a delicious glass of wine. You will find the good life on the banks of the Moselle.
During this 5-day hiking holiday, you will hike past castles and vineyards. Each day you will cover between 10 and 25 kilometers and spend approximately 6 to 8 hours hiking. Your accommodation in comfortable Gasthofen and hotels along the way is arranged, and your remaining luggage is always driven to your next accommodation. All you have to do is concentrate on the route and think about which wines you want to taste today.

Neef - Ediger-Eller
The section between Neef and Ediger-Eller is the shortest of the 24 stages - but it offers perhaps the most challenge of all: the Moselsteig trail leads directly to Europe's steepest vineyard, the Bremmer Calmont.
A few steps further, you will see the ruins of the Stuben Monastery in the valley and the legendary Vierseenblick (a division of the Moselle into four separate parts). If you fancy a challenge, you have the option of taking the Via Ferrata at Calmont to tackle the steep slopes here. You won't need any Via Ferrata equipment for this, but it gives you spectacular views as you hike through the vineyards. The Calmont Klettersteig will take about 2 hours of your time. At the end of the stage, the route takes you along an idyllic vineyard path to Ediger-Eller.

Ediger-Eller - Beilstein
Duration: 04:48 h
Distance: 17 km
Ascent: 390 m
Descent: 350 m
A challenging stage, passing through cultivated vineyards and offering varied views of the Mosel Valley. After starting in Ediger-Eller, the route leads past numerous shrines. A trip to the Roman tombs in Nehren, whose vault paintings are the best preserved north of the Alps, is ideal for a diversion. After a vineyard section, the route continues on a narrow forest path through Briedener Schweiz, which is captivating due to its impressive nature. Past the large Carmelite church, the path leads over the famous monastery stairs to the end of the stage in Beilstein. The small Mosel village is also called the "Sleeping Beauty of the Mosel region" because in the past it was often used as a filming location for local films with its small alleys and half-timbered houses.
