Discover the region

Wallscheid lies in the middle of a picturesque landscape of green hills, forests and rivers. The region is known for its vineyards and offers numerous opportunities for hiking or cycling. In summer, you can refresh yourself at the nearby bathing lake or take a boat trip on the Moselle.

An absolute highlight is Lieser Castle, an impressive building with an eventful history. It was built in the 19th century and later served as barracks during the Second World War. Today it houses a luxurious hotel as well as a restaurant serving regional specialities.

For cultural discoveries, a visit to the Bernkastel-Kues town museum or the medieval Landshut Castle near Bernkastel-Kues is worthwhile. Here you can learn more about the rich history of this region.

If it rains, you can use the day to visit one of the many wineries and taste some of the excellent wines or simply relax in a cosy café in Wittlich.

Culinary wise, this region also has a lot to offer - be sure to try the famous "Bernkasteler Doctor" Riesling wine or enjoy local dishes such as Döppekooche (potato casserole) or Schales (sour beans).

For outdoor activities, spring and summer are recommended when the landscape is in full bloom. Hike along the Moselsteig trail or enjoy a bike ride through the vineyards. In winter, you can go skiing at nearby Erbeskopf.

Wallscheid is definitely worth a visit - with its breathtaking landscapes, cultural highlights and culinary delights, it is a perfect destination for every taste. This Travel Guide will help you make the most of your stay!

    Es ist eine schöne Runde, die ich schon öfter gemacht habe. Sie lässt sich auch gut abkürzen, wenn mal nicht soviel Zeit da ist oder man weniger gehen möchte. Leider war schon oft das Stück vom Sammetbach bis hoch Richtung Mückeln sehr zugewachsen mit Sträuchern, hohem Gras und Brombeeren. Das trübt den Spass ein bisschen.

    Eine wirkliche Top-Tour. Ich habe 1‘900 Hm bei 103 km gemessen. Die spürt man auch, denn es geht laufend rauf: 12 grössere Anstiege. Allerdings alles fernab vom Verkehr auf Nebenstrassen und Radwegen. Tiefe Wälder, einsame Täler und Hochplateaus wechseln sich ab. Ambitionierte kommen auf ihre Kosten.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit einigen schönen Trails und Aussichtspunkten- am Pulvermaar und kurz danach gibt es Wege nicht mehr - Tipp dort kurz auf Straße ausweichen und danach dem Wanderwegzeichen Richtung Strohn folgen. Gefahren am 13.06.25

    Sehr schöner Wanderweg, allerdings ohne App ist die Strecke nur schwer zu finden, da nicht durchgehend beschildert. Besonders schön war die Strecke vom Hetscher Maar zum Holzmaar!

    Eine sehr schöne Tour, teilweise durch wenig befahrene kleine Straßen. Nur die Einstufung als Leicht würde ich überdenken. Es gibt zwei oder drei Serpentinen die ich einem Anfänger nicht empfehlen würde.

    Tolle Sonntagstour zwischen Massentourismus (MMR) und absoluter Einsamkeit (Sammetbachtal). Nicht sehr anstrengend. Lange Hose anziehen (Im Sommer teilweise zugewachsen) und los gehts. MTB ist Pflicht. Keine Spazierfahrt!
