Calmont-Klettersteig, Ediger-Eller, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany - Scenic Hikes on Waymarking.com

The starting point to the climbing trail is at the railway bridge in Eller and above the church in Bremm. The 8km walk takes about four hours and also includes some quite challenging sections which, however, are well secured. On leaving Eller the trail leads you to the shelter hut Galgenlay and the Amphitrion viewpoint. Further on the trail you can branch off from the main route to reach the summit cross of  the  Calmont (with shelter hut).

The Calmont High Trail leads you from the summit cross past the Roman High Shrine and on to the  so-called “Four-Lake-Viewpoint” at the Moselle hilltop shelter hut and back to Eller.

CLIMBING TRAIL:
The Calmont Climbing Trail was set up in 2002 as a joint project between the communities of Bremm, Ediger-Eller and Neef.
The Deutsche Alpenverein e.V. (German Alpine Association) secured the paths with steel ropes, ladders and numerous stepping brackets and pegs guaranteeing safe ascent and descent.

THEME TRAIL:
The Calmont Climbing Trail is one of the four themed trails in the Calmont Region – a real insider tip for hiking and climbing enthusiasts even beyond national borders.
Numerous information charts about the cultural landscape of the steepest vineyards in Europe highlight the very special flora and fauna which can be found along the entire trail.

VITICULTURE
You will encounter vinefilled hollows, the so-called “Kaulen” on your way along the trail. There are dry stone walls in these hollows which support the steep winegrowing terraces. The winegrowers can reach these terraces today by using a monorail from road along the Moselle.

VIEWPOINTS, REST AREAS AND SHELTER HUTS
The many rest areas and the shelter hut at the Calmont summit cross (offering food and drink at weekends and on public holidays from Easter to October) invite you to take a break.
