Experience an interactive family hiking trail in Sankt Aldegund. Help Weinblüte free the petrified fairies and goblins—fun and adventure for all ages!
Weinblüte, the Aldegunder Vineyard Fairy, is flitting excitedly around you.
Hey there! Yes, I mean you!
I’m Weinblüte, and I need your help! The evil wizard Rebenklau has turned my fairy friends and goblin friends into stones! I was the only one who managed to escape because I was playing tag with the rabbits.
Eulilli, the wise forest owl, said that only a brave child can save us. And she told us that YOU are just such a brave child! Weinblüte beams at you. Are you ready to help me? Then let’s get started!
There are 7 stations waiting for us to free my dear Wingert fairies and Wingert goblins. Find yourself a Schnickschnacki magic wand—for example, a nice stick—we’ll need it—and head to Station 1!
General information
Directions
Safety Guidelines
Your safety is our top priority. By preparing well and following the safety guidelines below, you’ll create the best conditions for a safe outdoor experience.
Stay Hydrated
Bring plenty of drinking water and drink regularly. Especially during hikes and bike rides along the Moselle, the heat can be intense in the summer.
Ticks
Check your body thoroughly after your trip and use a suitable insect repellent if necessary.
Oak processionary moth
Avoid contact with oak processionary moth caterpillars and their webs. The fine stinging hairs can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.
Check the Weather
Check the current weather forecast before starting your hike or bike ride. In case of thunderstorms, heavy rain, or strong winds, you should postpone your trip or end it in a timely manner.
Stay on the marked trails
Stay on the marked hiking and biking trails. This helps protect nature and yourself, and avoids unnecessary risks.
Forest Fire Risk
Pay special attention to the current risk of wildfires, especially during the summer months. Avoid open fires and smoking in the forest and in areas with dry vegetation.
Dogs
Please keep dogs on a leash whenever possible and be considerate of wildlife, grazing animals, and other visitors.
Emergency
In an emergency, you can reach emergency services throughout Europe by dialing 112. Provide your location as precisely as possible and, if possible, use your cell phone’s location feature.
Equipment
Sturdy Footwear
Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear on hiking trails. Nature trails, slate paths, and steep vineyard trails can be slippery, especially after rain.
Headwear
Wear a hat in warm weather. There are very few shaded areas, especially on the open trails through the vineyards.
Sun Protection
Apply plenty of sunscreen with an appropriate SPF and protect yourself from intense sunlight.
Tip
Along the way, the wizard Rebenklau has set up a small barrier (a nearby tree). You'll have to do a little climbing here.
