New: Hiking map 1 : 25,000 Holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Road

ISBN: 978-3-944620-13-8.

Schweich (Mosel). With the latest MOSEL hiking map titled "Holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Road", the Eifelverein expands its series of hiking maps on the Mosel with the now fourth hiking map at a scale of 1 : 25,000. This series of hiking maps, published by the Eifelverein in cooperation with Mosellandtouristik and the tourist information offices of the affected municipalities, will complete the Eifelverein's map collection after all MOSEL hiking maps are finished, with the Mosel route in the southeast.

The new hiking map replaces, with a slightly modified map section, the previously published and now outdated hiking map "Neumagen-Dhron, Schweich on the Roman Wine Road" by the State Office for Surveying and Geoinformation Rhineland-Palatinate. Hikers will be reliably guided on hiking routes in the Holiday region Schweich along the Moselsteig, Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, side trips, and dream loops. The hiking area Meulenwald is also shown on the map.

With the Moselsteig and Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, two long-distance trails awarded "Germany's most beautiful hiking trail" pass through the Holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Road. Not only with the connected circular hiking trails labeled "side trip" and "dream loop" does the Holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Road form an extensive and varied hiking trail network. This network is complemented by sections of the Eifelsteig with two partner trails, the Mosel Höhenweg, as well as other main hiking trails of the Eifelverein and numerous regional hiking trails, all shown on the new map. Selected bike trails and five mountain bike routes on the Roman Wine Road are also depicted on the map.

Despite the extensive hiking and leisure offerings shown on the map, Moselsteig stages 5, 6, 7, and 8 as well as the five side trips "Longuicher Sauerbrunnen", "Zitronenkrämerkreuz", "Mehringer Schweiz", "Klüsserather Sagenweg", and "Moselachter" form the core of this new hiking map. Especially the four Moselsteig stages and the five side trips are described bilingually in the inside section of the hiking map, and the respective elevation profiles also provide information about the difficulty level of the hike.

The basis of this detailed hiking map is the official topographic map 1 : 25,000 by the State Office for Surveying and Geoinformation Rhineland-Palatinate. The map costs a uniform 7.90 EUR and is available at the Tourist Information Roman Wine Road, Brückenstraße 46, 54338 Schweich; at Mosellandtouristik; in bookshops; and also at the Eifelverein e. V., Stürtzstraße 2 - 6 in 52349 Düren. The map can also be ordered online around the clock at www.eifelverein.de . ISBN: 978-3-944620-13-8.
