The Marienburg and the Moselle Peninsula
The Marienburg is a former Augustinian convent on the Moselle peninsula between Pünderich and Zell. The peninsula is topographically unique: the Moselle forms an almost closed loop here, the narrow neck of which is now crowned by the Marienburg. The view from the Marienburg over the Moselle loop is legendary and considered one of the most beautiful views of the Moselle.
The Hiking Route
The approximately 10-kilometer hiking route from Briedel leads over the heights above the Moselle, past vineyards, through forests, and across open plateaus. 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.
Culinary Stops
Local vintners set up culinary stops along the route. Moselle wine from different vineyards and vintages, Federweißer (depending on the season), beer, and non-alcoholic drinks are offered. Hearty dishes, Riesling slices, cheese variations, and sweet specialties complement the offerings. This makes the hike a culinary and scenic Whitsun experience.
