13 towns on the Mosel-Camino
View on the mapTraben-Trarbach is two towns and a bridge: from the Grevenburg you walk down into old Trarbach, where one of only two pilgrim hostels on the Mosel-Camino stands next to the church. Around 1900 the town was Europe's most important wine-trading centre after Bordeaux. According to Camino Ninja, Trier is 73.5 kilometres away.
Mosel-CaminoTreis-Karden is a town with two banks: on the left of the Moselle, in Karden, stands the collegiate church of St. Castor, the "Moseldom", where tradition says the hermit Castor lived around 350. On the right lies Treis beneath its two castles. A 195-metre bridge links them, and Trier is still 120.8 kilometres away.
Mosel-CaminoTrier is a gateway: four Caminos end here, and at the same church door of St. Matthias, the only apostle's tomb north of the Alps, the routes to Le Puy and Vézelay begin. The cathedral keeps the Holy Robe, and the Porta Nigra has stood since the year 170. Stay at least two nights.
Mosel-CaminoTrier - Le Puy+2Zell sits in the middle of the Zeller Hamm, a Moselle loop almost 14 kilometres long that the Mosel-Camino cuts short over the Marienburg. On this stretch the parish walked ahead of you: from the Petersberg to Kaimt, where a chapel of St James is recorded in 1143, and around 1200 to Zell. Trier is still 89.3 kilometres away.
