Moselsteig side jumps
Around the Moselsteig there are also four circular hiking trails between nine and 20 kilometers in length, the so-called side jumps. They either border directly on the actual climb or are located in its vicinity. They are all planned according to the criteria of the German Hiking Association and mostly run on nature trails and paths. Further Moselsteig partner trails are in the planning stage. The located in the Moselle region Traumpfade partially extend close to the Mosel sidewalk.
Trivia
On the occasion of the official opening, a SWR television team tested a section of the Moselsteig Trail. Specifically, the stage between Enkirch and Traben-Trarbach (approx. 10 kilometers) was carefully examined. The conclusion of the four hikers, who didn't know the route before: “It was very varied.” However, “only for people who can walk well.” But everyone wanted to come back and would be happy to recommend the hiking trail to others.
