The namesake Longuicher Sauerbrunnen is a natural mineral spring, rich in iron and carbonated (a so-called "Säuerling").
The tour offers a varied mix of paths through vineyards, along orchards and forest paths, and along the Moselle riverbank. Another highlight is a reconstructed Roman Villa Urbana in the middle of the vineyards.
Minor drawback: Due to the proximity to the motorway …

Nice tour. Just a bit muddy on the way down, so I shortened it a bit

A beautiful hike that unfortunately has few real highlights. The signage is very good and the paths are easy to walk, apart from a few muddy patches. At km 6.5 you have to cross a huge reed field, the path here resembles a field. You can hear and smell the bristly animals to the left and right of the path …

Last day on the Moselle. Today was supposed to be an extensive circular hike with start and finish in Longuich. A great tour to end and say goodbye. The hiking trail is very well signposted. Tomorrow we're going back home to the Palz. All then.

The starting point was a parking lot in Longuich. The parking lot in Guidebooks is a commuter lot and is full during the week. The next parking lot is 700 meters away. The signage from this side jump is great and the often narrow paths are very well cut. We had the opportunity to meet the volunteer road warden. The …

In itself a very nice lap, but the volume of the highway was really annoying at times.
The last vantage point was wonderful, the descent and subsequent ascent was really worth it 👍

Beautiful route...

Unfortunately, there were wild boars about 3km ahead of us, so we often had to deviate from the original path to avoid sinking completely in the mud... still - it was lovely... 😎😎😎
