https://www.ferienland-cochem.de/de/kulturweg-dortebachtal The Dortebachtal nature reserve is a unique, alpine-looking side valley of the Moselle that is particularly beautiful near the municipality of Klotten. A remarkable and rare animal and plant world has settled in this valley. Follow the signs and the logo with the lizard. They lead you from the hiking car park on the Moselle (B49) after 700 meters to a waterfall that offers a welcome cooling off in summer and grows into an impressive wall of ice in winter. Serpentines take you to the mountain plateau in the "Klottener Neuwald" and to the "Annischerhof". From there you are led past orchards to the "Kasteschkopp" lookout point where a panoramic view of the Moselle valley and the vineyard terraces awaits you. From the "Kasteschkopp" serpentines lead you back to the valley floor and then to the starting point at the hiking car park. Route conditions: Sturdy shoes required Arrival by car: 50°10'06.6"N 7°12'47.5"E https://www.traumsteige.com/durch-das-wunderschoene-dortebachtal/

What a wonderful route through this wild and romantic valley! Like in fairy tales! However, nothing for people with fear of heights, as I had to discover with my companion after the waterfall ... somehow we made it up. I thought it was great here, he probably not ;-)
