St. Anna Chapel (Bernkastel-Kues)

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Anna Chapel, built in 1890 in the neo-Gothic style, marks the end of the Way of the Cross. Particularly interesting is the large mosaic that covers the entire façade and can be seen from far away.

View of the Moselle Valley from Wilhelmshöhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

Small unsecured rock ledge that allows a view of Andel and Lieser on the Moselle. There is a bench along the way, but unfortunately no view.
In the distance you can see the Hochmosel bridge.

View from the Olymp (Bernkastel-Kues)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although this mountain is not as high as the Greek mountain of the same name, the altitude of about 415 meters is enough for a great panoramic view.

Hiking day with the girls in one of the most popular towns on the Moselle: Bernkastel-Kues.
First time there – and straight into the rain.
But hey: the less sun, the better the photos 📸💁‍♀️
Romance, old town, vineyards, and wet shoes – what more could you want? 🤗🤩
Unfortunately, my phone ran out of power quickly... 4 km saved. …

After yesterday's thunderstorm and further expected rain, we stayed nearby today. Above Berkastel-Kues, the St. Anna Chapel stands in the middle of the forest as the end station of a Way of the Cross. It is easy to see from the village below and I wanted to get a little closer to it today. The chapel dates from 1890. The …

Defying the fog again in the morning and taking a great tour over the Wilhelmshöhe to Mount Olympus and on to Landshut Castle. The path led to the Wilhelmshöhe over steep gradients, but very easily accessible paths. Unfortunately, the fog still has a firm grip on the Moselle valley. On a great and narrow trail we went to Mount Olympus, …

Starting from the holiday apartment, the walk was a steady climb. I enjoyed magnificent views of the Moselle, enjoyed plenty of sunshine, and had the path to myself. After visiting Landshut Castle, I made a detour to the waterfall and returned to the village.

A nice hiking tour, with a great view of the Moselle, unfortunately too much mountain bike traffic on very narrow paths, we were traveling with a small child, I found it very dangerous.
