View of Burgen and the Moselle Valley from Küppchen

Highlight • Viewpoint

This vantage point is fully justified in its name; high above the river between Lasserg and Hatzenport - on the 21st stage of the Moselsteig (from Moselkern to Löf) - it offers a very beautiful view upstream and downstream.

The Krebsbach valley is a very beautiful, wild and romantic gorge.

An insider tip that is worth climbing. It takes you through Hatzenport, up to the Rabenley. There are also asphalt or wider gravel paths before you continue on the Dolling climbing path. With a view of the Moselle, you are sent above in the direction of Lasserg. At the Krebsbach, you then follow a dreamy path towards Bischofstein Castle. The …

Varied path combination of Rabenlay climbing path, Hatzenorter Laysteig and sections of the Moselsteig. Here is the link to the official directions: weinwetterweg.de

Due to the via ferrata-like sections, sensible hiking shoes and a certain degree of surefootedness are highly recommended.
