Got it, Klaus 👍 – here's a more detailed Komoot comment about Zell, which brings together history, winemaking, and the Moselle loop: "Zell lies in one of the most beautiful loops of the Moselle and is one of the most traditional wine-growing towns in the region. Winemaking was already practiced here in Roman times, but Zell became world-famous for its cult wine 'Zeller Schwarze Katz,' which has been exported worldwide since the 19th century. Steep vineyards, narrow streets, and half-timbered houses characterize the landscape – a place where the landscape and wine culture tell a long history.
