If you want to go to the Moselle from Boppard, you can leisurely climb 350m in 7.5km through the quiet Mühlbachtal. The road is quite narrow, which is why not so many cars use it. On the way there is a beautiful viewing point with a bench at Mühltalblick where you can take a leisurely break.
Asphalt is good, it's a pleasure going downhill!

View of Thurant Castle

Cycling Olli
The ruin of Thurant Castle (also Thurandt) stands on a broad spur made of slate high above the village of Alken on the Mosel. It is located in the district of Mayen-Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate) and belongs to the type of spur castles. A special feature are - in addition to the location on the steep valley shoulder - the vineyards on the sunny side.
From the middle of the 13th century, the archbishoprics of Cologne and Trier were joint owners of the plant and managed their respective share of burgraves. Each half therefore had its own keep, its own residential and farm buildings and a separate entrance.

Terraced Vineyards of Hatzenport

Highlight • Structure

Through cleverly placed stone walls, the vineyards were reclaimed from the steep slope.
It is like a wonder of the world, on the slope near Hatzenport.

Mill Trail in the Schrumpf Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you want to climb the slope from the Moselle up to the Maifeld in a particularly scenic way and as much as possible, the Shrink Valley is recommended! For cyclists, this also represents the connection between the Moselle cycle path in Hatzenport and the Maifeld cycle path in Münstermaifeld.

The 4.5-kilometer trail follows the Schrumpfbach stream, which flows from Münstermaifeld-Metternich through a valley rich in forests and meadows down to the Moselle. Fifteen mills are on the wayside - some in a deep sleep, others are successful examples of how ancient walls can be beautifully renovated, for example to accommodate comfortable holiday apartments.

Llamas have found a home in the wild nature of the shrink valley as well as eagle owls and salamanders. From the shrink valley you can also reach the small artist village Mörz with its beautifully renovated courtyards and the Café Toscana via a paved forest path. Every two years, instead of the forest silence, a happy Maifeld-Moselle adventure day attracts to the mill event “Schromb is fun”.
