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 entitled "Holiday Region Schweich on the Roman Wine Road," the Eifelverein supplements its hiking map series on the Mosel with now the fourth map at a scale of
1 : 25,000. This hiking map series, published by the Eifelverein in cooperation with Mosellandtouristik and the tourist information offices of the affected municipalities, will complete the Eifelverein’s map collection upon completion of all MOSEL hiking maps with the Mosel section in the southeast.

The new hiking map replaces, with slightly modified sheet coverage, the previously issued and now outdated hiking map "Neumagen-Dhron, Schweich on the Roman Wine Road" by the State Office for Surveying and Geoinformation Rhineland-Palatinate. Hikers are reliably guided on hikes in the holiday region Schweich along the Moselsteig, Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, side trails, and dream loops. The hiking area Meulenwald is also shown on the map.

The Moselsteig and Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, both awarded as "Germany’s most beautiful hiking trails," pass through the holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Road. Together with the connected circular hiking trails named "side trails" and "dream loops," the holiday region Schweich forms an extensive and varied network of hiking trails. This network is supplemented 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, all included 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, the Moselsteig stages 5, 6, 7, and 8 as well as the five side trails "Longuicher Sauerbrunnen," "Zitronenkrämerkreuz," "Mehringer Schweiz," "Klüsserather Sagenweg," and "Moselachter" form the core of this new hiking map. Particularly, the four Moselsteig stages and the five side trails are not only described bilingually in the inner part of the hiking map but also illustrated with elevation profiles and indications of the difficulty level 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 from the Tourist Information Roman Wine Road, Brückenstraße 46, 54338 Schweich, from Mosellandtouristik, in bookstores, and of course also from the Eifelverein e.V., Stürtstraße 2 - 6 in 52349 Düren. It can also be ordered online around the clock via the internet at www.eifelverein.de . ISBN: 978-3-944620-13-8.
