Geographically, Schweich is located in southwest Germany on the Moselle. The region impresses with its varied landscape of rolling hills, idyllic river courses and picturesque vineyards. A highlight is certainly also nearby Trier, the oldest city in Germany.

The tourist attractions are numerous: for example, visit the Roman city gate Porta Nigra or stroll through the historic old town of Trier. A trip to Eltz Castle is also always worthwhile!

Culturally, Schweich also has a lot to offer: The amphitheatre in Trier regularly offers open-air concerts as well as theatre and opera performances. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can take a walk along the Moselle riverbank path or enjoy regional delicacies at a wine tasting in one of the many wineries.

Of course, the region is also particularly well known for its culinary specialities, such as Riesling wine or hearty dishes like Saumagen (a speciality made from boiled pork stomach). But international cuisine is also on offer - for example, there are many restaurants with Italian cuisine.

For outdoor activities, the summer is particularly suitable: hike along the Moselle riverside path or explore the region by bike. In winter, the Erbeskopf ski area is ideal for winter sports enthusiasts.

But even in rainy weather, there is plenty to do in Schweich: For example, visit the Rhineland Regional Museum in Trier and immerse yourself in the history of the region.

In conclusion, Schweich is definitely worth a visit! Whether you are a culture or nature lover - everyone gets their money's worth here. We hope our travel guide was able to help you and wish you an unforgettable time in this picturesque region of Germany!

    ganz passable Tour gerade für heiße Tage. Manche Abschnitte schon recht verwachsen, zwei recht anspruchsvolle Abhänge. Mir hat der technische Anspruch deshalb gereicht.

    Eine sehr schöne Wanderung mit vielen schönen Momente, nur ab und zu ist der Lärm von Autos störend. Das ist meistens Im Anfang, sonst ist es eine wunderschöne Wanderung

    Schöne Aussicht, vielfältige Landschaft, steile Aufstiege. Ich mache diesen Abschnitt immer wieder gern von Trier aus, mit Rückweg an der Mosel entlang oder per Bahn oder Bus.

    Sehr schöner Ausblick auf Trier. Strecke lässt sich auch gut bei großer Hitze machen, da sie größtenteils durch den Wald läuft, nur die letzten 2 km nicht.

    Am Schluss ein kurzer sehr extremer Anstieg, sonst top zu gehen. Gut für den Sommer, da es fast nur durch den Wald geht.

    Mit unserer Pilgergruppe machten wir den Eifel-Camino in Tages- bzw. Wochenend-Etappen in drei Jahren. Mit Gebeten, Liedern, Hoffnungen und auch mit Stille pilgerten wir diesen Weg. Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir jetzt schon in Frankreich sind, bzw. einen neuen Pilgerweg in Deutschland planen. Problem ist immer das Finden von Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten für die Gruppe. Mit der DB an- und abgereist, was gut geklappt hat. Ich finde, der Eifel-Camino ist das Richtige für Pilgeranfänger und -innen, denn die Höhenmeter und Streckenlänge sind gut machbar. Wer mehr sehen möchte - ich habe auf YouTube ein kleines Video von unserer sehr inspirierenden Pilgerschaft eingestellt. Der Eifel-Camino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W3m3ddzLoU

    Vooral het stuk tussen Trier en Ehrang is de moeite. Loopt grotendeels samen met de Camino en de Eifelsteig.
