The 5-Valleys-Tour dream trail begins directly opposite Rüssels Country House. After just a few steps, the route leads from the road into the tranquil forest landscape – past ancient trees, gentle slopes, and the first small stream. Tip: Take advantage of the starting point for a photo with a view of the country house – especially in autumn, the facade with its colorful trees provides a beautiful backdrop.

"I praise with a full cup the home of delicious wine, I praise the Moselle in the valley, the glorious daughter of the Rhine. The castles rise proudly and greet and speak of ancient times, green-gold the Moselle at my feet, in the eternal garment of youth." (Author unknown)
