Bremm Moselle Loop & Calmont

Moselschleife Bremm / Calmont

The most spectacular horseshoe bend of the Moselle. Beside it lies the Calmont, Europe's steepest vineyard, with a thrilling vineyard climbing trail.

The Moselle makes a nearly 180-degree sharp bend near the village of Bremm. The ruins of Stuben Abbey lie on the inside of the bend, while the Calmont hillside on the outside has a gradient of over 65 percent and is considered Europe's steepest vineyard. The classic panoramic view of the bend can be photographed from the Calmont summit viewpoint or from higher ground in the direction of Ediger-Eller. Fit visitors can take the Calmont Klettersteig (via ferrata), which runs through the steep vineyards between Bremm and Ediger-Eller. It covers about 3 km and takes 2.5 to 3 hours, with ladders and steel cables along the way. Wear hiking boots, and those who are afraid of heights should be cautious. Avoid it in the rain, when the trail is slippery. Bremm is about 20 km from Cochem.
