One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Igel leads along the Moselsteig. This long-distance hiking trail stretches 365 kilometres along the Moselle and offers spectacular views of the river and the surrounding vineyards. The section through Igel is particularly charming as it passes through the "Igeler Säule" nature reserve. Here you can admire the impressive sandstone formations and catch a glimpse of the famous Roman tomb.

There are also great hiking trails in Igel for families with children. The "Celtic Trail" is a circular path that has been designed to be both informative and entertaining. Along the path there are numerous information boards about the life of the Celts as well as interactive stations for children to play and learn.

The best seasons for hiking in Igel are spring and autumn. In spring, the fruit trees along the paths blossom and give the landscape a magical atmosphere. In autumn, on the other hand, warm colours bathe the forests in an impressive spectacle. The temperatures are pleasant and the mild climate invites you to go hiking.

In addition to the Moselsteig and the Celtic Trail, there are many other hiking trails around Igel. The "Römerweg" leads to the remains of a Roman villa, while the "Panoramaweg" offers spectacular views of the Moselle valley. No matter which trail you choose, one thing is certain: in Igel, every hike will be an unforgettable experience.

All in all, the hikes in Igel offer a perfect mix of nature experience and cultural highlights. From historical sights to breathtaking landscapes - everyone will find their own personal favourite route here. So lace up your hiking boots and explore the beautiful surroundings of Igel!

    nur nach dem Aufstieg und vor dem Abstieg gibt es Sitzmöbel. leider ist der Kulturweg nur auf der Gegenseite gekennzeichnet. das Stück an der Autobahn ist schnell geschafft. Die Gegend ist aber sehr schön. (bis auf die Autobahn)

    Sehr schöne Tour allerdings stimmt in Liersberg beim Bauernhof die Beschilderung nicht mehr mit der app. Der Weg mit der app ist eindeutig schöner !

    Der Wanderweg führt einen kleinen Teil über eine Straße die von Lkws befahren werden. Ein sensationeller Ausblick über Langsur. Es ist zu raten diese Tour am Wochenende zu machen. Auch ist sie bei Hitze nicht zu empfehlen da es von Langsur Höhe bis Grutenhäuschen kaum Schatten gibt.

    Ein schöner und einfacher Wanderweg. Allerdings führt er durch Zewen entlang aller Geschäfte. Derzeit in Corona ist zu empfehlen ab dem Treppenabstieg im Wald ein Stück den Moselsteig zu gehen. Beide Wege gegen ab Wirtschaftsweg Zewen wieder gemeinsam.

    Auch wenn heute der Himmel nicht immer in Fotolaune war - die Wanderung ist optisch ein Leckerbissen. Das macht dann auch den doch relativ hohen Asphaltanteil wieder wett. Was ich vermisst habe ist die traute Zweisamkeit mit der Natur. Immer da wenn auch über weite Strecken unterschwellig ist ein Zivilisationslärm der sich bis zur teilweise parallel verlaufenden Autobahn dramatisch steigert. Vor lauter MItleid mit der Welt, den Tieren im Wald und nicht zuletzt mit mir selbst (wegen der Geräuschkulisse) habe ich dann auch nur 1 versteckte Skulptur von den in der Beschreibung angekündigten entdeckt ...

    Leichte Tour, viel auf Asphalt, aber sehr schöne Panoramas, Streuobstwiesen und Weinbergskultur.
