This time it worked out. I finally walked the Mountain and Gorge Trail, or rather, a section of it, since the entire 18 km route was too long for me.
But I seem to have chosen the most beautiful 10 km. I started at the Vogelsang Mill, walked through the Ehrenbach Valley up to Ehrenburg Castle, and enjoyed the stunning …

➡️ A nice alternative for those for whom the dream path is too long. Just follow the Brodenbach to the Moselle 😊 but it's still exhausting, see elevation profile.

Also very worthwhile! Small steps, wild waters, castles and the beautiful Moselle valley, what more could a hiker want! OK, a little sun instead of rain and sleet would have been nice...

Very nice hiking tour. There is also a very nice inn on the way. This is the historic Vogelsang mill. You can eat very well. Of course there are a lot of viewpoints along the way. I can only describe the path as beautiful, you have to have hiked it.

Today we went from Ememlshausen to Brodenbach on the Moselle. From the market square in Brodenbach, we parked our car right on the Moselle. The actual route is over 18 km. We took the shortcut. Once you leave Brodenbach, you immediately follow a small path along the river. You pass a slate cave and the Donnerloch, which is said to …
