The tour, especially in the first half, offers several beautiful viewpoints along charming paths. Today, the Moselle Valley was stunning in the morning mist at the beginning of the tour. 😉👍🏻

The path on the steep slope is less rocky than the name "Briedeler Schweiz" suggests, but it is slippery in places and has deadwood hurdles.
The climb from Beinter Kopf to Wilhelmshöhe is tough again at the end.

I visited Briedel Switzerland for the second time today, this time with @Manggongjai
Challenging are the paths through the steep slopes from Hindenburglay and the climb along the ridge path back to Wilhelmshöhe.

Great places to rest with wonderful views of the Moselle valley.

Exactly the right thing in view of the increasing temperatures: many paths, lots of forest and always beautiful vantage points.
The "lower" two (Hindenburglay
and Beinter Kopf) even better than the two higher ones...
Only on the section between Sündkapelle and the refuge of the "Rockfreunde Briedel e.V." it gets a bit monotonous...
Right …

Small rock formations and great views from exposed rocky outcrops into the Moselle valley and the Zeller Hamm characterize the eleven-kilometer-long Moselsteig side trip Briedeler Schweiz in the middle Moselle valley. The route leaves nothing to be desired and is very varied. Highly recommended.🥾👌🏼
