Coming from Bernkadtel-Kues, the path climbs steeply, mostly on cobblestones. But the view is amazing!

Here, the path descends steeply (or rather, ascends) on rough gravel. This section doesn't offer any great views either.

From here, you can enjoy the view of Bernkastel-Kues. From Traben-Trarbach, you can reach this point directly over the mountain, passing under the B50 highway. However, if you head towards Traben-Trarbach from here, you can take the downhill sections, which are almost trail-like, at a more relaxed pace.
