The panoramic footbridge at the Hochmosel Bridge offers breathtaking views of the Moselle region. The panoramic footbridge winds its way high above the Moselle, much like a Lindwurm.
The Upper Moselle Bridge in the Bernkastel-Kues vacation region is one of the largest and longest bridges in Europe. An impressive structure, it connects the Eifel and Hunsrück low mountain ranges, and its striking silhouette dominates the landscape even from a great distance. The nearest town is the Moselle community of Zeltingen-Rachtig. From there, you can reach the panoramic footbridge after a roughly 20-minute bike ride through the picturesque vineyards. From here, an impressive view of the majestic bridge and the Moselle Valley unfolds before you.
