Community centre in Piesport

From the community centre on the Ausonius bank in Piesport you walk past the parish church of St. Michael, along the banks of the Moselle to the bridgehead of the former Müsterter Bridge. Here the path leads you into the vineyards and soon onto an unpaved farm track. This path crosses the asphalt L 50, which winds its way up the Piesporter Berg in serpentines. Continue parallel to the slope through the vineyard landscape - always with a view of Piesport and the Moselle. Finally the vineyard path ends. A path takes you to the farm track below and you follow this path for a few metres. You then descend to the banks of the Moselle via an old vineyard staircase. The way back is on the cycle path or driveway via the district of Ferres. The approximately 7-kilometre-long hike runs in an arc through the famous "Piesporter Goldtröpfchen" vineyard and along the banks of the Moselle. On the wayside in the vineyards you will meet a unique flora, which has developed here. Among them are many early blossoming plants like the vineyard hyacinth, the gold varnish and hawthorn. Especially drought-resistant plants such as the writing fern, stonecrop and vineyard garlic grow here. On the Moselle bank, on the other hand, there are cultural sights to visit, the rococo parish church of St. Michael, the chapel in Ferres with the representation of "Christ in the wine press" and the Roman wine press. While you walk through the vineyards mainly on an unpaved farm track, on the banks of the Moselle you walk mostly on asphalt.
