October 18, 2023,Cochemer "Traumpfädchen" Hubertushöhe

This tour is ideal for anyone who wants more than just a stroll through Cochem but doesn't have enough time or desire for the 16-kilometer day hike Cochemer Ritterrunde. The short circular route from the town center to Hubertushöhe and back to the starting point takes just two hours and still has great views of Cochem and the Reichsburg.
