Circular route Detzem – Fünf-Seen-Blick – Detzem (R 16)

Sturdy footwear.

Fünf-Seen-Blick Observation Tower → The nearly 30 m high observation platform rises impressively above the Moselle valley from the forest. It offers a magnificent view of the Moselle valley. From the Fünf-Seen-Blick observation tower, the eye captures the Moselle bend five times, always interrupted by wonderful forests and vineyards, making them appear as five lakes. The tall observation tower in the forest above Detzem is freely accessible and always worth climbing.

Observation tower currently closed! Status May 2021!

Access is via the B 53 to the Thörnicher Brücke. We cross the Thörnicher Brücke to the other side of the Moselle and then turn sharply right towards Thörnich or Detzem.

In the center of Detzem or at "Am zehnten Meilenstein" sufficient parking spaces are available.

By bus line 220 from Trier via Ruwer, Schweich, Mehring, Leiwen, Trittenheim to Neumagen.

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

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

Schweich (Moselle). With the latest MOSEL hiking map titled "Holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Route", the Eifelverein supplements its series of hiking maps on the Moselle with the fourth hiking map in the scale 1 : 25 000. This hiking map series, published by the Eifelverein in cooperation with Mosellandtouristik and the tourist information offices of the municipalities involved, will complete the Eifelverein's map collection after finishing all MOSEL hiking maps with the Moselle run in the southeast.

The new hiking map replaces the previously issued and now outdated hiking map "Neumagen-Dhron, Schweich on the Roman Wine Route" by the State Office for Surveying and Geobasis Information Rhineland-Palatinate, with a slightly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

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

Despite the extensive hiking and leisure offerings shown on the map, the 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. These four Moselsteig stages and the five side trips are described bilingually in the inner part of the map, and the elevation profiles also provide information about the difficulty level of the hikes.

The basis of this detailed hiking map is the official topographic map 1 : 25 000 by the State Office for Surveying and Geobasis Information Rhineland-Palatinate. The map is uniformly priced at 7.90 EUR and is available at the Tourist-Information Römische Weinstraße, Brückenstraße 46, 54338 Schweich, at Mosellandtouristik, in bookstores, and of course also at the Eifelverein e. V., Stürtstraße 2 - 6 in 52349 Düren. The map can also be ordered online around the clock via the internet at www.eifelverein.de . ISBN: 978-3-944620-13-8.
