🏘️ Platten is an idyllic wine village that is often mentioned in connection with the Moselle, but strictly speaking lies in the picturesque side valley of the Lieser – only about 4 km from the mouth of the Moselle.

The wooden bridge over the Lieser River at this point has a few steps on the side (street) opposite the villa. There's no ramp (side ramp). Getting up there with a heavy e-bike is almost impossible without extra effort (removing batteries, taking off luggage, etc.). Even then, you'd probably have to use the e-bike push assist, and we haven't tried how well that works. Conclusion: Don't plan an e-bike route towards the villa that includes this bridge. PS: The opposite direction, from the villa across the Lisa River to the street, could work, but that would also be a "heavy" undertaking in my opinion. PPS: Simply carry bio-bikes up on your shoulder 😊

In summer, only e-bike egos are on the road – nasty situation! 😅

Good shortcut if you want to go directly to Wittlich and don't want to go via Wengerohr ;) Past the old Rothmühle and then just go straight ahead at the roundabout!

Here you can see the Zeltinger Sundial. The term Zeltinger Sundial refers to a German vineyard in Zeltingen, a district of the municipality of Zeltingen-Rachtig on the Moselle. The wines grown on this 21.5-hectare single vineyard (predominantly Riesling) are renowned throughout the region. The site is steep and slopes south-southwest. The vines thrive on Devonian and slate soils. The Zeltinger Sundial single vineyard is part of the Münzlay large vineyard. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeltinger_Sonnenuhr

The Roman villa of Wittlich, built between 150 and 200 AD, was inhabited during the heyday of the Trier region. It is one of the largest estates north of the Alps.
