August 31, 2024,Rundweg Mesenich - Beilstein mit Rastplatz Waldeslust 🚶

Beautiful circular route from Mesenich through the vineyards and the Briedener Schweiz to Beilstein. Shady passages in the forest alternate with open stretches between the vineyards and through fields. Unfortunately, the path from Schellenberg to the L 98 did not lead any further; a wall at the road boundary was insurmountable for us, so we had to go back a …

September 28, 2021,Beilstein - Briederner Schweiz

The second part goes from Burg Metternich towards Briedern and back to Beilstein. The first part goes through the forest constantly. The forest was beautiful, but because of the long and wide roads it quickly became monotonous. The way back from Briedern to Beilstein ran along the Briederner Schweiz road. A very nice narrow footpath, with very steep slopes along …
