Hiking in the Pfaelzerwald

Don't miss hiking in the Pfaelzer Wald. It is a beautiful region, and there are excellent paths and fantastic little huts all over the forest where you can get traditional meals and cakes. And of course the wines of that region are worth to try.

Equipment: Maps for hiking are available in the bookshops or gas stations, sometimes you also get them in the huts in the forest.

Maare-Mosel-Radweg

On an old railway apth, they made a little street for bikers and inliners. Depending on your energy, you can go from Bernkastel-Kues up to Daun (55km) or you take the "Radlerbus" to Daun. From there to Bernkastel, it is rather easy, no mountain - hill to climb. There are lots of pubs and restaurants along the way.

Equipment: A bike

Theme: Biking
