The detour "Cochemer Ritterrunde" is one of the partner routes of the Moselsteig. It starts and ends in Cochem.
Plan this beautiful hike for early May. Then delicate beech leaves adorn the forests around Cochem with bright green, the warming sun unfolds colorful blossoms on the Mediterranean slopes of the Mosel, and rapeseed blooms on the heights.
The Reichsburg Cochem and the ruins of Winneburg are the "beacons" of this hike; you can always see them from Pinnerkreuz, Wakelei, Wilhelmshöhe, and Hubertushöhe.
Almost half of the route runs on narrow, often rocky paths; this requires surefootedness. For the 16 km and 700 meters of elevation gain, good fitness is needed.

First, the tour leads over the high plateau around the locality of Valwigerberg, where the expanse of meadows, pastures, and forests of the Hunsrück seems endless.
The second part of the tour goes along a wooded high path along the Moselle with partly primeval valley incisions with wild streams.
In the third part of the tour, it goes upstream along the Moselle on the Apollo Trail, along the vineyards towards Valwig.
