Wellbeing-hiking tour between the holidays in Remerschen

After Christmas and before New Year's Eve, it's high time for some wellbeing. That’s why the youth hostels' animation team has come up with the perfect activity for body, mind and soul - a guided day tour through the beautiful Moselle region. On Tuesday, 27th of December will be held the fourth edition of the traditional wellbeing hiking tour between the holidays with a vegetarian menu as the crowning finale.

This year's tour takes us to the Moselle region with its numerous vineyards and nature reserves. So let your soul dangle and strain your legs. This medium-difficulty day tour for adults starts at the Remerschen youth hostel. The highlights of the tour are the Mediterranean gardens in Schwebsange and the nature reserves Kuebendällchen, Haff Réimech and Lamert. But the wide views over the border triangle, the vineyards in winter and of course the Moselle are also worth the effort. The guided 23 km tour is aimed at experienced hikers wanting to discover this region outside the typical hiking season and at the same time burn off calories before the turn of the year.

A well-deserved 4-course vegetarian dinner awaits the hikers at the end of the tour. Those who would like to turn their hiking tour into a weekend trip are welcome to reserve a bed at the youth hostel, as the Moselle is breath taking at any time of year.

Please register in advance, the places are limited.

Date:
Tuesday, 27^thof December 2022 including a wellbeing-dinner at the youth hostel. Shower facilities on site. Don’t forget to bring your own snacks and refreshments for the hike.

Menu:

Wellington with mushrooms and winter vegetables in a forest sauce with a duo of purees
