The tour follows stage 18 of the Moselsteig and diverges to more beautiful or adventurous paths where reasonably possible. Those who still want to hike further after Beilstein can easily continue the tour on stage 17 of the Moselsteig to Senheim, where there are numerous bus connections (e.g., to Edinger-Eller train station).

Mosel routes are always beautiful and never disappointing! Sometimes narrow paths, sometimes wide trails, sometimes vineyards, and sometimes wonderful panoramas!

A visit to the “Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle” . Most of the trail is clearly dominated by viticulture, which unfolds before hikers along wide, sunny paths offering stunning views. In the so-called “Briederner Schweiz,” however, the terrain becomes rugged and physically challenging, though two real highlights—Metternich Castle and the picturesque village of Beilstein—await you at the end.

    Wander - und Kraxelspass 
    Die Steige sind sehr schön mit schönen Blicken zur Mosel; die Abstecher zum Fernsehturm und weglos zum Schellenberg haben leider keine Aussicht; ein Abstecher nach Beilstein kann auf jeden Fall empfohlen werden; wir haben den oberen Teil d. Urbanisteigs noch mitgenommen u. sind über einen alten Verbindungspfad zurück nach Senheim zum Ausgangspunkt, was aber eher nicht zu empfehlen ist, der gleiche Rückweg über den Moselsteig ist schöner

    Die Aufstiege beim Eisernen Kreuz waren toll. Super Aussichten auf die Mosel. Bei ca. 36 Grad war gerade der erste Aufstieg anstrengend. Aber danach reguliert sich die Anstrengung wieder, da ein Großteil der Route durch Wald verläuft. Dennoch abwechslungsreich.

    Eine schöne Tour durch die Briedener Schweiz, die man auf einem schmalen Pfad erkunden kann. Tolle Aussichten auf die Mosel und Burg Metternich, wo man gut eine Pause einlegen kann. Essen super. Bei gutem Wetter auch für Familie mit Kindern geeignet.

    Wenig Menschen, sehr toll und abwechslungsreich. Allerdings auch nicht wirklich ausgeschildert. Ohne App wären wir aufgeschmissen gewesen. Der Klettersteig ist harmlos von der Schwierigkeit, es ist halt Kondition gefragt.

    Wir haben die Tour auch sehr genossen. Sehr schöner Aufstieg zu Beginn der Tour und im weiteren Verlauf immer wieder abwechslungsreiche Landschaft und schöne Fernblicke bis zur Burg Metternich. Auf dem Rückweg gefällt vor allem der schmale Pfad der Briederner Schweiz oberhalb der Mosel und der Abschnitt durch die Weinberge oberhalb von Mesenich mit vielen Tafeln und Aktionsstationen... ;) Entlang des Weges gibt es immer wieder Bänke und Picknicktische für eine Rast Danke für den schönen Tourenvorschlag!

    Schöne Tour, Abwechslung durch Weinberge, Wald, Naturklettersteig und tollen Aussichten. Allerdings ist die Tour nicht beschildert und ohne Navigation/App nicht zu meistern.

    Am Samstag sind wir diese Runde gelaufen. Einfach nur toll und von allem was dabei. Steig, Wald, Feld, Schweiz, Örtchen, Weinberge und und und. Danke für diese Zusammenführung der Wege. PS: Wir haben auch im Vorbeigehen vieles über Steine gelernt.
