It runs for 47 kilometres through the cultural landscape of the county. Here on the Moselle, this included the villages of Brauneberg, Mülheim, Andel, Veldenz, Burgen and Gornhausen.

Insights into the hiking tour:

A possible starting point is the village of Mülheim. Situated in the midst of vineyards, the village is particularly famous for its wine.  This is because the wine from the "Sonnenlay" vineyard was the most popular wine on the Zeppelin's Atlantic flights and was therefore considered the "king of the skies" among wines.
