Maps and trails
The region is known for its excellent wines, especially Riesling. A wine tasting at a local vintner should therefore be on your list. Here you can enjoy the different flavours of the wine and learn more about how it is made.

Besides the wine, there are many other tourist attractions to discover. Visit Lieser Castle or take a walk through the historic old town of Bernkastel-Kues with its 17th century half-timbered houses.

For cultural highlights, we recommend the annual wine festival in September or the medieval festival in July, where you feel transported back to times gone by.

If you like to be active, then you have plenty of options to choose from here: Hiking through the vineyards, cycling along the Moselle or canoeing on the river - everything is possible! The best season for this is spring to autumn.

This region also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Try local specialities like Saumagen (a kind of Palatinate liver dumpling) or Zwiebelkuchen (onion tart) - both go perfectly with the local wine!

Even if it rains, there are enough activities to make your stay enjoyable: visit museums such as the Moselle Wine Museum or relax in one of the many thermal baths.

Where is the most beautiful? That's hard to say, as every season here has its own charms. In spring the vineyards are in bloom and in autumn they shine in golden colours - but this region also has its charm in winter!

This Travel Guide shows: Ürzig, Bernkastel-Wittlich is definitely worth a visit!

    Ein wirklich schöner Rundweg. Bewegung, Abwechslung, Aussicht und viel zu entdecken für die Kids. Waldrutsche, Elfen und traumhafte Ausblicke für die Erwachsenen ins Moseltal. Nicht Kinderwagen tauglich, da ein schmales Stück über den Moselsteig verläuft und dort Seile sind zum Festhalten

    Dem (W)Ürziger Bergpfad gelingt es, sich trotz der kurzen Distanz von knapp sieben Wanderkilometern im Premiumsegment zu etablieren. Dafür sorgen die im mittleren Tourabschnitt überaus pfadige Routenführung, die nahezu ständigen grandiosen Tiefblicke ins Moseltal und der insgesamt recht abwechslungsreiche Streckenverlauf. Allerdings erweist sich der windurngsreiche Aufstieg zum Leizenberg als ziemlich kräftezehrend. Die asphaltierten Abschnitte über breite Weinbergwege außerhalb der Ortslage von Ürzig fallen zwar negativ ins Gewicht, vermögen den guten Gesamteindruck aber nicht entscheidend zu mindern. So erscheinen vier von fünf möglichen Sternen für durchaus angemessen. Rast- und Ruhemöglichkeiten entlang der Strecke sind in genügender Zahl vorhanden. Die Beschilderung ist ausreichend und gut sichtbar angebracht. Ein ausführlicher und reich bebilderter Wanderbericht ist unter dem nachfolgenden Link einzusehen: https://profirouten.de/moseltal/w-uerziger-bergpfad

    Zeer mooie rondweg. Het eerste stukje is best wel een beetje steil en is enige conditie nodig, nadien is de tocht eerder ontspannend. Er zijn de nodige zit gelegenheden, er is voldoende afwisseling en mooi open zicht. En pad om van te genieten, ook midden november.

    Eine herrliche Strecke, die zwar sehr kurz, dafür aber abwechslungsreich und (besonders im ersten Abschnitt) fordernd ist. Es gibt tolle Ausblicke, einen herrlichen Hangpfad und auch Spiel und Spaß kommen nicht zu kurz. Absolute Empfehlung, besonders für den Herbst, wenn alles in bunte Farben getaucht ist!
