In the third part of the tour, it goes upstream along the Moselle on the Apollo Trail, along the vineyards towards Valwig.

A short route in terms of distance, but due to its difficulty on steep terrain, especially in the area of the Breva path, it is only recommended for experienced hikers and more time should be planned than usual for a short distance. However, those who prepare for this will be rewarded with the most magnificent panoramic views, counting among the most beautiful that the Moselle landscape has to offer. At the end of the route, for relaxation and as a crowning conclusion, awaits Beilstein, known as the "Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle," picturesquely located at the foot of the Metternich castle ruins.
For the return, a Moselle boat trip with lock passage from Beilstein to Bruttig-Frankel is recommended (unfortunately, Valwig does not have a landing stage). From there, it's only about 3 comfortably walkable kilometers along the Moselle cycle path to the starting point of the tour in Valwig.

The tour follows stage 18 of the Moselsteig and diverges to more beautiful or adventurous paths where reasonably possible.
