October 18, 2023,Auf dem Apolloweg nach Cochem

The panoramic path is a dream. Beautiful views of the Moselle and its vineyards. However, surefootedness is required here. But the effort is definitely worth it.

You also have to see the Reichsburg in Cochem. Guided tours take place here all the time and you can learn a lot.
Actually, there was more planned today, but it was worth lingering …

In perfect weather, we took a tour from Valwig, where our hotel was, along the Apolloweg to Cochem. From there, we took the cable car up Pinnerberg and then went to the Reichsburg castle, where we took a guided tour. It's a very beautiful place, and the path there was also very beautiful. It starts off as a wide path, …

Countless lizards and butterflies can be seen along the route and this time we even saw a bright green green lizard. In addition, countless grasshoppers showed up with their colorful splendor.

June 30, 2024,Von Cochem nach Valwig. Ausicht auf die Reichsburg 🏰

We two hikers who aren't 100% fit at the moment decided to go on a "small" tour today. The Pinner Cross was a bit too high for us today and the Knight's Round too long.

When we were about halfway through our Corpse Tour, we realized that we were already higher than the cross 🤣 Planning is everything 😂
