Moselsteig Leg 3
Langsur
Steep rock faces and wide open fields characterise this leg. Already when leaving the wine growing village Nittel, the hiker is rewarded with a breath-taking view of the Mosel Valley and the impressive lime stone rocks. The cliff which was created by the Triasmeer more than 210 million years ago. The visual sedimentary layers give us a glimpse at the Earth's history. The Moselsteig Trail runs through the Nitteler Felsen Nature Reserve and impresses with its multifaceted surroundings. Taking a little detour to the orchid fields, you can admire the rare plants in their natural environment. The hike continues through the forest and finally, along the cross path stations, down to the city of Konz. The city located at the mouth of the Saar invites you to an exciting short stop with its attractions such as the „Volkskunde- und Freilichtmuseum Roscheider Hof“.
