The Übereltzer Loop Trail leads from Moselkern through picturesque vineyards to the neighboring village of Müden. From there, the trail runs below the vineyards back to the starting point.
The leisurely Übereltzer Loop Trail connects the small wine-growing villages of Moselkern and Müden. With a duration of about 1.5 hours and an elevation gain of just 102 meters, the trail is perfect for leisurely walks. The route is easy to manage even for less experienced hikers. It winds through picturesque landscapes such as the Funkenberg vineyard, which offers frequent views of the Moselle Valley and the surrounding vineyards.
The route is clearly signposted throughout and can be started from either village.
Both villages are connected to public transportation via the Moseltalbahn (RB81), allowing you to shorten the tour if desired.
