Even though the weather wasn't great today, it's always beautiful on the Moselle. We took our daughter to the train station in Wittlich, so it seemed like a good idea to go for a walk along the Moselle. 🥾🥾🥾🥾

We didn't want to go back on the way back to get to the higher path.
We went up through the vineyard / Wingert. Due to the steep location, it is only suitable for experienced people. After Komoot, the steep slope had an incline of approx. 15%. Certainly feels more.

Something went wrong while saving the tour today 🙈.

Unfortunately, the original tour has been deleted.
Since I chose an already given route, I was able to combine it with my pictures.

But I had already taken a screenshot 🤗 so the original data can be seen on the first picture.
