General information
Directions
The Lösnich themed trail "Following Nature's Trail" takes you around the wine village of Lösnich, past forest slopes and through vineyards.
From the parking lot at the Lösnich community center, the hiking trail with the trail snail "Lotta" leads you along the element "Earth" past the Lösnich shelter and the Jewish cemetery up into the forest to the Kaisergarten rest area. Along the edge of the village, you reach the Lösnich forest via vineyard paths. The element "Air" leads you on field and hiking paths over the "Kietz." At the information boards on this section, you explore air song, cloud images, and sundials. Turning left, the path continues through the forest towards the Kluckert spring. This spring supplied the villages of Lösnich, Kinheim, and Kindel with water until 1995. From this old waterhouse, you follow the traces of the element "Water," the meanders of the Kluckert spring, up to the small shelter above the wine village of Kindel. To the next, the Kindel Roman hut, you hike very idyllically on hiking paths towards the vineyards. From the crossroads there, follow the meanders of the vineyard paths past the well-known excavation of "Sucellus." From the Kluckert spring, you have reached the center of Lösnich again. Through the historic Moselle village, walk past the Catholic parish church of St. Vitus back to the starting point at the community center.
