The Marienburg is a former Augustinian convent on the Moselle peninsula between Pünderich and Zell.

The view from the Marienburg over the Moselle loop is legendary and considered one of the most beautiful views of the Moselle.

Viewpoints repeatedly offer spectacular views of the Moselle and the peninsula with the Marienburg. The route is manageable in terms of fitness but varied – ideal for families and pleasure hikers.

Hearty dishes, Riesling slices, cheese variations, and sweet specialties complement the offerings. This makes the hike a culinary and scenic Whitsun experience.
