August 17, 2025,Mosel: Tag 8 von Bremm über Eller, Ediger und Nehren bis Senheim und über die Brücke in Neef zurück

Today, at 9 a.m., we left our accommodation and headed down to the Moselle. We hiked along the outside of the Moselle loop, directly in front of the Calmont, passing through Eller, Ediger, and Nehren. We visited all three villages. The largest and most beautiful is probably Ediger. Unfortunately, we couldn't enter the church there, as it was being renovated.

In terms of the nature of the path, it is a very easy tour, mostly wide, easily accessible forest, field or vineyard paths. There were only narrow, sometimes impassable paths to …

Yesterday I took the RB81 🚂 from Koblenz to Neef myself, but today I let it run and hiked there because it always looks so beautiful from the train line.
It was a short hike, but totally worth it! From Neef station, the route climbs steep stairs through the vineyards.
Lots of great views of the Moselle, vineyards, forests, and …

I walked the path alone back then and today I did it again with my dear friend and an extension to the hermitage.
It rained a bit, but it was still a nice tour. Unfortunately, there was flooding on the path near the Moselle, so we had to resort to the vegetables twice.. so it's better not to hike there …
