Hindenburglay Viewpoint and Shelter

Highlight • Viewpoint

Halfway up the forests of the Briedel Switzerland hiking area lies the Hindenburglay lookout point. A small pavilion sits enthroned on a rocky outcrop that protrudes from the steep, wooded slope of the narrow Moselle bend at Zeller Hamm.

Highlight • Trail

The name for this wooded, steep slope with some rocks in the Zeller Hamm area may seem a bit exaggerated, but the narrow hiking trail, which leads past several viewpoints, is certainly a great experience.

July 31, 2024,Kleine Rundtour Briedeler Schweiz

A good round trip for today, as it mostly went through shady forest. The climbs at the beginning were tough though. I had completely forgotten how steep it was and thought to myself: the name "Switzerland" fits. The rest areas were a bit run down... nothing compared to yesterday. Still a good tour.

A detour that we know quite well from our "pre-Komoot years" and that promises hiking pleasure time and time again.

Originally around 10 km long and—as the name suggests—started from Briedel, we—as before—started from Zell, and both the ascent and descent to the actual loop have their charm.
