The Moselle mountains are a maximum of 434.1 m above sea level. NHN high ridge immediately to the left of the Moselle between Reil and Schweich in the Rhineland-Palatinate districts of Bernkastel-Wittlich and Trier-Saarburg . Vines are grown on the southern slopes of the wooded mountains .
geography
location
The Moselle Mountains lie between Reil in the northeast and Schweich in the southwest and, among other things, stretch past Piesport northwest along the Moselle , with all of the above-mentioned localities on the river.
Natural allocation
The Mosel Mountains belong to the Moselle Mountains sub-unit (250.2) in the natural spatial main unit group Moselle Valley (No. 25) and in the main unit Middle Moselle Valley (250), whereby they are in the northwest through the main unit Wittlicher Senke (251) from the main unit Moseleifel (270) as Part of the Eifel are separated.
structure
The Moselle mountains are divided into three sergmentes by two tributaries of the Moselle: their south is cut in a north-south direction by the estuary of the Salm (estuary at Klüsserath ), their north in a northwest-southeast direction by that of the Lieser (estuary at Lieser ) . This creates a southwest segment between Schweich and Klüsserath, a central segment between Klüsserath and Lieser and a northeast segment between Lieser and Reil.
The northeast segment becomes narrow ridge-like at Ürzig through the Moselle loop and there only reaches heights of a little over 200 m , which divides the northeast part into two parts again. The northeast part of the northeast segment is up to 420.3 m high, its southwest part only up to 366 m .
In the extreme north-east of the middle segment, the (Noviander) Hüttenkopf ( 273.3 m ) is separated by a branch of the Lieser near Osann , which thus forms a small independent segment.
The furthest north -west of the middle segment with the 364 m high Stöppelberg north-east of Klausen , which is immediately adjacent to the west , is also separated by a valley (Oestelbach, Landesstrasse 47 from Klausen to Osann). It is offset slightly to the north-west of the ridge line and is even included in the natural spatial structure of the Klausen hill country and thus the Wittlich valley . Nevertheless, it is genetically and geomorphologically part of the Moselle mountains. Otherwise the middle section reaches up to 434.1 m .
In the extreme northeast of the southwest segment , the Rudemberg ( 278 m ) is separated from the remaining segment by a valley (Kahlbach, Landesstrasse 48 between Bekond and Thörnich ). The actual southwest segment reaches up to 418.7 m .
Peninsulas
In the bends of the Moselle, the flattening south-west foothills of the Moselle mountains form distinctive peninsulas. While the south-western part remains montane and massive as far as the Moselle near Mehring , the villages of Trittenheim and Minheim lie on the very narrow peninsulas of the central part, and Kues and Traben on those of the north-eastern part .
