Picture-perfect views and fascinating cultural history. Following the trail of the Zeller Schwarze Katz, you can learn interesting facts at a total of 25 stations about viticulture, the secret of the "Zeller Schwarze Katz", the church tower without corners, the old pressing stone of a Roman wine press, and much more.

Breathtaking views and fascinating cultural history. In no other town on the Moselle is viticulture as present as in Zell. In the heart of the town, just a few meters from the town hall, the vines grow on sunny steep slopes on mineral-rich slate soils. Zell (Mosel) deserves the title "Wine Town" due to its excellent, multi-award-winning wines and long history of viticulture. Cat paws mark the themed hiking trail, which provides information about viticulture in Zell (Mosel) and the history of the "Zeller Schwarze Katz".
