Köwerich is picturesquely situated on the Moselle and is surrounded by vineyards - so here you can not only take wonderful walks but also taste the famous Moselle wine. The region is considered one of the best growing areas for Riesling wines in the world.

One of the main tourist highlights is Thorn Castle with its impressive baroque garden. Here you can embark on a journey through history and take a look at times gone by.

If you prefer a more sporty approach, you can hike or cycle along the river - tours through the autumnal landscape are particularly beautiful in October or November. Canoeing on the Moselle is also very popular.

If the weather is bad, a visit to the Trier City Museum is a good idea: Here you can learn more about the history of this ancient city and its inhabitants from Roman times to the present day.

The culinary delights in Köwerich leave nothing to be desired: Be sure to try local specialities such as "Saumagen" (a kind of stuffed pork stomach) or "Dibbelabbes" (a potato dish). The cake made from regional fruits such as cherries or plums is also a real treat for the palate.

Overall, Köwerich is definitely worth a trip - for nature lovers, culture enthusiasts and gourmets alike. So pack your rucksack and head for this idyllic spot in the heart of Germany. This travel guide will help you make the most of your stay!

    Diese Rundtour hat uns sehr gut gefallen: Tolle Aussichten, viele schöne Rastplätze und schattige Waldpassagen. Den Hinkelstein haben wir irgendwie verpasst und die erwähnten vielen Sagentafeln haben wir auch vermisst.

    Top Wanderung mit drei kurzen knackigen Anstiegen, sehr abwechslungsreich. Nur der Parkplatz an der Wetterstation muss man erfragen. Dort steht auch ein Weinschrank.

    Sehr schöner Tour. Bei Hitze sollte man beim ersten und den letzten zwei Kilometer aufpassen, ansonst sehr schattig. Gut ausgezeichnet. Man sollte aber am besten von der Wetterstation beginnen, sonst hat man einen zu langen Zuweg.

    Sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Wanderung mit tollen Ausblicken. Durch die Weinberge rel. viel Teerweg; nicht so geeignet für Touren im Hochsommer.

    Ganz toller Weg mit viel Abwechslung. Einige Gelegenheiten zur Rast. Sehr gut ausgeschildert, bis auf einen Punkt, an dem wir auch gleich falsch sind. Wir waren nicht die einzigen.

    Toller abwechslungsreicher Weg mit atemberaubenden Panoramablicken und sehr schönen Waldpassagen. Steile An- und Abstiege machen ihn zum anstrengenden Weg, der aber überall sehr gut ausgeschildert und gepflegt ist. Bei Regenwetter ist er wohl eher nicht zu empfehlen, weil es auf den Bergpassagen dann wohl eher rutschig ist.

    Deze Seitensprung is echt de moeite waard! Een mooie mix tussen open panoramische zichten, korte stukjes bos (meest bij de klimmen wat ideaal is bij warm weer) en wandelen tussen de wijnranken. Heel veel mooie zit gelegenheden over het geheel van de weg.
