Sturdy footwear required.

Near the via ferrata is the recreation area "Triolago" with many leisure attractions such as an all-weather toboggan run, a ball and footgolf course, a wake park, playground, and gastronomy.

Parking spaces are sufficiently available at the turn-off to the Triolago recreation area. From there you reach the starting point at the Molesbach mouth after about 600 m (a playground is set up at the start-finish point).

New: Hiking map 1 : 25,000 Holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Route

ISBN: 978-3-944620-13-8.

Schweich (Mosel). With the newest MOSEL hiking map titled "Holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Route," the Eifelverein supplements its series of hiking maps on the Mosel with the now fourth map at a scale of
1 : 25,000. This series of hiking maps, published by the Eifelverein in cooperation with Mosellandtouristik and the tourist offices of the affected municipalities, will complete the Eifelverein's map collection after all MOSEL hiking maps are finished, covering the Mosel section in the southeast.

The new hiking map replaces the previously issued and now outdated hiking map "Neumagen-Dhron, Schweich on the Roman Wine Route" by the State Office for Surveying and Geobasis Information Rhineland-Palatinate, with a slightly altered sheet cut. Hikers will be reliably guided on hiking routes in the holiday region Schweich along the Moselsteig, Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, side trips, and dream loops. The Meulenwald hiking area is also shown on the map.

The Moselsteig and Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, two long-distance hiking trails awarded as "Germany's most beautiful hiking trails," lead through the holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Route. Not only with the connected circular hiking trails called "side trips" and "dream loops" does the holiday region Schweich on the Roman Wine Route form an extensive and varied hiking network. This network is supplemented by segments of the Eifelsteig with two partner routes, the Moselhöhenweg, as well as other main trails of the Eifelverein and numerous regional hiking paths included on the new map. Selected cycling routes and five mountain bike routes on the Roman Wine Route are also depicted on the map.

Despite the extensive hiking and leisure offerings shown on the map, the Moselsteig stages 5, 6, 7, and 8 as well as the five side trips "Longuicher Sauerbrunnen," "Zitronenkrämerkreuz," "Mehringer Schweiz," "Klüsserather Sagenweg," and "Moselachter" form the core of this new hiking map. In particular, these four Moselsteig stages and the five side trips are described bilingually in the map's interior, and the respective elevation profiles also provide information about the difficulty of the hikes.

The basis for this detailed hiking map is the official topographic map 1 : 25,000 by the State Office for Surveying and Geobasis Information Rhineland-Palatinate. The map costs a uniform price of 7.90 EUR and is available at the Tourist Information Roman Wine Route, Brückenstraße 46, 54338 Schweich, at Mosellandtouristik, bookstores, and of course also from the Eifelverein e. V., Stürtzstraße 2 - 6 in 52349 Düren. The map can also be ordered online 24/7 via the internet at www.eifelverein.de . ISBN: 978-3-944620-13-8.
