Some suggested walks for this holiday Walk 1. Follow the Mosel Heights Trail to the south, above the vineyards. The route passes three fine viewpoints over the Mosel Valley and some castle ruins. Then you walk through forest to Grevenburg Castle, again a fine view point, before descending to the river at Traben-Trarbach. Cross the river and walk through the vineyards on the other side of the river, first to Mount Royal and then to Kövenig before returning to Enkirch via the foot ferry (about 7 miles). |
