On the approximately 5 km long adventure hike, you can discover native flora and fauna, rare and unknown wild fruits, artistic elements, and much more. Numerous benches and sensory loungers invite you again and again to linger and enjoy the unique panorama high above Fell. It is worth coming back, as many more attractions are planned. Currently, the starting point is given as the Winzerkeller in Fell, as there are sufficient parking spaces available there. Until spring 2024, the parking lot at the start-finish portal will also be available for hikers.
The planners --- Feller Maximiner Wein e.V. --- of the Moselsteig side trail "Stein & Wein Panorama-Erlebnisweg Fell" have integrated numerous exciting and innovative experiential stations with diverse thematic focuses along the route, so that one can often experience a unique "aha" effect with wide, astonished eyes.

Impressions
General information
Directions
Along the entire length of the path, you will find slate dry stone walls decorated with loving artworks.
With a little attention, you can observe the lizard sunbathing in the cracks of the walls. In addition to hare, roe deer, pheasant and partridge, you can watch the honeybee at work. At four locations, signposts of the different wine regions of the world have been set up.
Occasionally, you can watch the winemaker managing his steep slope vineyards. Along the entire hiking trail, benches and two sensory loungers have been set up, from which you can enjoy the valley view over the village. A little away from the path, on a small plateau, a lounge has been set up where you should calmly enjoy one or the other bottle of wine, and a cooling option for the good drop has also been considered.
Equipment
Sturdy footwear.
Tip
On Sundays and in good weather, the wine tavern at the largest and smallest corkscrew in the world is a popular excursion destination.
Look out for a waving flag of the local community of Fell near the tavern. ;-)
