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 supplements 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 Eifelverein's map series after all MOSEL hiking maps have been finished, with the Mosel course in the southeast.

The new hiking map replaces the previously issued and now outdated hiking map “Neumagen-Dhron, Schweich on the Roman Wine Road” by the State Office for Surveying and Geoinformation Rhineland-Palatinate, with a slightly changed sheet cut. Hikers will be reliably guided on hiking tours in the Schweich holiday region along Moselsteig, Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, side routes, and dream loops by the new hiking map. The Meulenwald hiking area is also depicted on the map.

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

Despite the extensive hiking and leisure offerings shown on the map, the Moselsteig stages 5, 6, 7, and 8 and the five side routes "Longuicher Sauerbrunnen," "Zitronenkrämerkreuz," "Mehringer Schweiz," "Klüsserather Sagenweg," and "Moselachter" form the core of this new hiking map. The four Moselsteig stages and the five side routes are described bilingual textually inside the map and show altitude profiles with indications of the difficulty levels of the hikes.

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