MehringCrédit : Minna Harshbarger, Macs Adventure
Ascend the slopes of the Moselle river bank on a serpentine trail as it winds uphill. You are surrounded by panoramic views of the glistening Moselle river and its meadows covered with vineyards. Enjoy a picnic at one of the benches along the way, the perfect spot for a breather. Finally come to the Huxlay Plateau before descending through vines to Mehring, an authentic Moselland town.
Spend the evening sampling local regional dishes at one of Mehring’s restaurants. Hearty, meaty food is the order of the day, washed down with a glass of delicious white wine.

Zitronenkrämerkreuz Detour - The Zitronenkrämerkreuz detour, named after a commemorative cross, runs for around 20 km around the Moselle towns of Mehring, Pölich, Schleich and Ensch. Quiet passages with many changing landscape formations alternate with short ascents in the slope over the Moselle, crowned with a view of unique river panoramas. Cultural sights such as the "Roman water pipe" in Pölich or the "Zitronenkrämerkreuz" are included in the tour. There is a connecting route between Schleich and the Zitronenkrämerkreuz, so that the path can also be divided into two independent loops (8.3 km and 13 km).

On the opposite side of the Moselle you can see Longuich. Both Moselle villages are connected via the Moselsteig.

On the last section of the ascent, walk through meadows to reach the highest point of this stage at 415 m.
The view from the Mehringer mountains if there is good visibility you will be able to see the volcanic cones of the Eifel and the Erbeskopf in Hunsrück. After a short walk over the ridge, you will soon turn right to start your descent into Kausholz and Hundsbuckel.
