General information

Directions

The tour starts at the Moselle riverbank in Traben. From here, head in the direction of Kautenbach. Shortly after the Hotel Jungenwald, turn left into the forest and follow the steep switchbacks. A drinking spring at the beginning of the climb is a perfect spot to fill up with cold water.

The climb ends at a horse stud, and from there the route continues along field paths until you reach the L190 road. Cross the road and continue a short distance towards Starkenburg, then turn right off the road.

A relaxed downhill section through the forest follows, before another climb that leads directly into the village of Starkenburg. After passing through Starkenburg, descend again through the forest until you reach the Moselle River. From there, follow the bike path back to the Moselle parking area.

The route is signposted with the shown signs and the number 2.
