We start our hike directly at the winery. From here, we begin our adventure on the Moselsteig Trail. Variety is key, as a colorful mix of vineyards, meadows and forests accompanies us today.
The first stage destination is St. Martin's Chapel in Rehlingen. From here we enjoy a fantastic view up and down the Moselle.
After a short break for a drink, we continue along field and hiking trails in the direction of Wincheringen. On a beautiful hill in Wincheringen with a fantastic view of the Moselle valley and Luxembourg, we enjoy our lunch break with delicacies from the kitchen and cellar.
Strengthened, we continue along the fields to Bilzingen in the afternoon. Master distiller Andreas Vallendar welcomes us here. He will take us into the world of master distillers and offer us various treasures from his cellar for tasting. In addition to top-class whiskeys, one of the most appreciated German gins comes from his distillery today - Ferdinands Saar Dry Gin.
Afterwards we make our way home and look forward to the culinary delights that await us that evening!

"Welcome aboard!!!"
The M.S. Princesse-Marie-Astrid picks us up in Nittel. Together we sail on the most beautiful and noblest ship on the Moselle along the German-Luxembourg border to the border triangle in Schengen.
When we go on board, we are very close to European history. For it was here, at a historic moment in 1985 and 1990, that the Schengen Agreement was signed on board the 2nd M.S. Princesse-Marie-Astrid, which is still the cornerstone of the European Union today.
A pinch of culture, a touch of European history and a teaspoon of scenic discovery - these are the ingredients of this year's Moselle cruise.
In Schengen itself, we leave the ship and head towards the European Museum on the banks of the Moselle. From here, we take the bus back to Nittel through beautiful villages on Luxembourg's terroir. On the way, we make a stopover at the Biodiversum nature conservation center on the Réimech lagoon, where we toast with a glass of Luxembourg Crémant and enjoy the diversity of nature!
7:00 p.m.
