Moselsteig stage 03: Nittel – Konz

Steep rock walls and wide fields characterize this stage. Shortly after leaving the winemaking community of Nittel, the hiker is rewarded with a breathtaking view over the Moselle valley and impressive limestone rocks. This cliff, created 210 million years ago by the Triassic sea, reveals a piece of earth history through its visible sediment layers. Along these rocks, the Moselle trail leads variedly through the Nittel rock nature reserve. On a detour to the orchid meadow, the rare plants can be admired in their natural environment. Steep paths through the forest lead finally along stations of the way of the cross down into the town of Konz. With attractions like the folklore and open-air museum Roscheider Hof, the town at the Saar estuary invites you to a pleasant stopover.
