The Moselle Valleys and the Hunsrück Highlands along the Way of St. James.
Experience and discover the diversity of the Zellerland and the Moselle Valley—unspoiled nature, castles, vineyards, and, of course, the romantic Moselle River. The “Mosel-Camino,” between Koblenz and Trier, is part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The yellow scallop shell on a blue background marks the pilgrimage and hiking trail, which is just under 160 km long in total (approximately 180 km including detours and sightseeing stops). The converging ribs of the shell point toward Trier like an arrow.

General information
Directions
In Treis, turn right and walk along the main road until you reach the end of town. Below Wildburg Castle, the trail gradually ascends over uneven ground toward Beurenkern. A few hundred meters past the Beurenhof, turn right at a right angle into the Flaumbach Valley. Soon you’ll see the Maria Engelport Monastery. Continue uphill through the forest to the K 36; turn right there, walk 200 meters along the road, then turn left into the forest at the “Schafstall” hut. Continue downhill to Beilstein, home to the Capuchin monastery church and the Metternich ruins. Then follow the K 42 (paved road) for a good distance and head back up through the forest to the Hunsrück Heights, where you’ll soon reach the L 200. Cross the L 200 to reach the “Alte Schanze” via a sunken path, followed by an open meadow path (with “bee TV”). There, cross the L 98 and continue southeast toward the chapel known as the “Lindenhäuschen.” Continue along the road, then turn right into the forest at the Panoramhütte. After about 1½ hours, you’ll reach the Moselle Valley again in Bullay.
Safety Guidelines
Your safety is our top priority. By preparing well and following the safety guidelines below, you’ll create the best conditions for a safe outdoor experience.
Stay Hydrated
Bring plenty of drinking water with you and drink regularly. Especially during hikes and bike rides along the Moselle, the heat can be intense in the summer.
Ticks
Check your body thoroughly after your trip and use a suitable insect repellent if necessary.
Oak processionary moth
Avoid contact with oak processionary moth caterpillars and their webs. The fine stinging hairs can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.
Check the Weather
Check the current weather forecast before starting your hike or bike ride. In case of thunderstorms, heavy rain, or strong winds, you should postpone the trip or end it in a timely manner.
Stay on the marked trails
Stay on the marked hiking and biking trails. This helps protect nature and yourself, and avoids unnecessary risks.
Forest Fire Risk
Pay special attention to the current wildfire risk, especially during the summer months. Avoid open fires and smoking in the forest and in areas with dry vegetation.
Dogs
Please keep dogs on a leash whenever possible and be considerate of wildlife, grazing animals, and other visitors.
Emergency
In an emergency, you can reach emergency services throughout Europe by dialing 112. Provide your location as precisely as possible and, if possible, use your cell phone’s location feature.
Equipment
Sturdy Footwear
Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear on hiking trails. Nature trails, slate paths, and steep vineyard trails can be slippery, especially after rain.
Headwear
Wear a hat in warm weather. There are very few shaded areas, especially on the open trails through the vineyards.
Sun protection
Apply plenty of sunscreen with an appropriate SPF and protect yourself from intense sunlight.
Tip
To walk down the famous Heinz Rühmann movie staircase in Beilstein just once...
