The beautiful Moselle Valley route starting in Waldesch offers insights into various landscapes. In good weather, you can see from the heights of the Hunsrück to the Eifel. The descent to the Moselle lets the Mediterranean flair of the river flow in before passing wooded huts and animal enclosures back to the starting point.
General information
Directions
Starting in Waldesch, the route leads along the Eschbach through a beautiful forest patch into the Kondertal. The path winds down the Kondertal to the Mosel. Upon reaching the Mosel, you travel about 2 km along the B49 to Lay. The return route is taken via the Layer Bergweg, passing the viewpoint "Carolahöhe". Here, the steepest part of the route is completed, and you are rewarded with a magnificent view over the Moselle Valley and into the Eifel. Past a forest-hidden shelter, the tour leads via the Remstecken, the shelter in Flürchen, and the Waldescher shelter back to the starting point in Waldesch.
