How beautiful hiking on the Moselle is, we have seen in several hiking trails discovered in the region around Alf, Bullay and Zell on the Moselle. There are wonderful views of the river along the way. The idyllic places are worth a visit. You can also go on a wine tasting hike in the wine region. Or just pack a bottle of Moselle wine and a snack in your backpack, find a nice vantage point for a picnic and enjoy the views of the Mosel.
Hiking along the Moselle to the Prinzenkopf
This hike along the Moselle offers beautiful views of the river, Bullay and Plünderich. This is hiking on the Moselle with pleasure. From the parking lot in Auf d. Hill in Alf head north and take the Auf Tannerd path which branches sharply to the left. On the way you will pass the Margarethenhöhe viewpoint. From there you have a beautiful view of the Moselle and the double-decker bridge that leads from Bullay over the river. After about 600 meters, turn left onto the Waldfrieden path. At Haus Waldfrieden, turn right and follow the path past the military cemetery to the Prinzenkopf lookout tower.
We continued our hike along the Moselle to a vantage point on Plünderich. From there you have a view of the Moselle and the town of Plünderich.
There you can unpack your snack and enjoy the view with a glass of Moselle wine.
Hiking on the Moselle through the vineyards near Alf
A hike along the Moselle River through the vineyards above Alf also rewards you with beautiful views of the town and the river. We park our car in the parking lot by the riverbank and walk to the church in Alf. Shortly after, we turn left onto Bergstraße (Mountain Street). We follow this road until Solligstraße branches off to the right. Shortly after, Solligstraße makes a sharp right turn, uphill. This road leads us directly to the mountain chapel. Along this route, we hike along the Moselle through the vineyards, always keeping the river in view.

Hiking along the Moselle on the Moselsteig side jump "Würzlaysteig"
The Moselsteig side jump “Würzlaysteig” in Lehmen. Varied landscapes as well as fascinating views and unique flora and fauna make this 9,3 kilometer long tour an experience. The hike begins at the Lehmen sports park in the direction of the Würzlay vineyard. After a few steps along a wooded natural path, you can leave everyday life behind and enjoy the views of the valley. High above the Moselle and the Würzlay vineyard, an alpine path finally leads through the steep slopes. This section requires fitness, sure-footedness and a minimum level of freedom from heights. The climb is rewarded with some viewpoints. Numerous benches and rest areas also invite you to linger.
Hike on the Moselle with a wide view of the Moselle valley
From the Maifeld, the trail leads at a leisurely pace to the Ausonius Hut, a perfect spot for a break in the countryside. A short path off the main route takes you to the Ausoniusstein viewpoint, a jutting rock formation overlooking the Moselle River. Here, it's well worth pausing to take in the expansive views of the Moselle Valley while hiking along the river. The trail then continues more gently and less strenuously through the Ausoniusstein nature reserve, across fields and meadows on the plateau. The return journey is also rewarded with a stunning view from the Hubertushöhe viewpoint. After a short, steep descent, you'll finally arrive back at the starting point.
