Description
The "Traumschleife" in the small winegrowing village of Ahn offers a successful mix of all the elements that make up a good premium trail. Along the steep shell limestone cliffs, we pass through the steep vineyards of the Palmberg with magnificent views into the Moselle valley. After varied forests, we reach a nature reserve with old boxwood and orchid meadows. The last part leads through the valley of the Donverbach with its waterfalls and gorge forest.
Passing along the steep shell lime cliffs, the path leads you through the steep vineyards of the Palmberg with wonderful views into the Moselle valley. As we reach the nature reserve of Pellëmbierg (Pellëm = box), our eyes and nose will be delighted above all by the lush green boxwood and wild orchid meadows. The return through the valley of Donverbach (creek) with its waterfalls and wooded gorge provides a relaxed ending. Beautiful landscapes, as well as explanations of the geological layering and the biodiversity of the Palmberg await you on this hike.
Funfact: The Wine & Nature Path Palmberg Ahn was the first Traumschleife to be inaugurated in 2013!
After rainy periods, not or only restricted access!
