Calmont through ferrata
The Calmont Via Ferrata is one of four themed trails in the Calmont region and is popular among many hiking and climbing enthusiasts. There are numerous information signs about the cultural landscape and Europe’s steepest vineyards.
The trailheads are located in Eller and Bremm; the hike takes about 3 hours.
At the Calmont summit stands a memorial to the wartime generation, erected in 1970, known as the summit cross. The hut there is open from Easter through October as a wine tavern, and there is a viewing platform on site offering a particularly stunning view of the Moselle’s bend—285 meters below—near the Stuben monastery ruins.
From Calmont, the high-altitude trail leads past the Roman hilltop sanctuary and the “Vierseenblick” viewpoint at the Moselle shelter back to Eller.
From Bremm, you can take the combined bike and hiking trail right along the banks of the Moselle to Ediger Eller or back to the campground; if needed, you can also take bus line 711.
For the hike on Calmont, you’ll need sturdy footwear, a head for heights, and good physical conditioning.
