The nature experience is a 3.1 km long hiking trail that runs right through the steep slope of Valwiger Herrenberg. Hikers are offered an impressive view of the Mosel Valley. The path was painstakingly created by many volunteers from different localities. It was dug into the mountain with consideration for the natural conditions.
The joint project of the towns Bruttig-Fankel, Ernst, and Valwig is based on the idea of creating a pleasure connection between a premium Mosel wine and active experience of the steep vineyards. Get to know the mountain, the path, the wine, and the region with all your senses.
A wine cultural landscape developed over millennia can best be understood by exploring it. Along steep rocks and vineyards, experience viticulture, flora, and fauna up close. Small steps and ropes help to overcome difficult spots.
After and during rain, snowfall, or ice, special caution is required. Walk carefully, wear good footwear, and avoid overestimating yourself and risky excursions.
Be sure to take enough provisions (especially mineral water). However, pay attention to the weight of your backpack. Take breaks, carry a mobile phone with you (for emergencies), and avoid hiking during thunderstorm risk.
Sturdy footwear and weatherproof clothing are required for the hike.
As a souvenir, it is recommended to bring a bottle of wine from the region: BREVA wine is a premium product made from selected Riesling grapes. The winemakers from the steep vineyards of Valwiger Herrenberg supply their best grapes for its production.
