The start of Rue de Dreiborn is already great fun with the wide, good road and the two hairpin bends. The gradient remains moderate and then decreases. Before the bridge over the Aalbach, turn right at a small shrine. From here, there is hardly any car traffic. The turn-off is signposted as "Koeppchen". Likewise the next 90° bend to the right, from where the path becomes a little steeper again. The path then becomes narrower, but remains of good quality. Sometimes there are chippings... read more

The start of Rue de Dreiborn is already great fun with the wide, good road and the two hairpin bends. The gradient remains moderate and then decreases.
Before the bridge over the Aalbach, turn right at a small shrine. From here, there is hardly any car traffic. The turn-off is signposted as "Koeppchen". Likewise the next 90° bend to the right, from where the path becomes a little steeper again. The path then becomes narrower, but remains of good quality. Sometimes there are chippings and shortly before the end there is a wide drainage grating for rain. You then reach the Koeppchen chapel with an exceptional view over the vineyards and the Moselle.

Der Einstieg in die Rue de Dreiborn macht mit der breiten, guten Straße und den beiden Serpentinen bereits großen Spaß. Die Steigung bleibt moderat und nimmt danach erst mal ab.
Vor der Brücke über den Aalbach biegt man an einem kleinen Schrein rechts ab. Ab hier gibt es kaum noch Autoverkehr. Die Abzweigung ist mit "Koeppchen" ausgeschildert. Ebenso die nächste 90°-Kurve nach rechts, ab wo es wieder etwas steiler wird. Danach wird der Weg enger, bleibt aber von guter Qualität. Manchmal liegt hier Splitt und kurz vor Schluss ist ein breites Ablaufgitter für Regen zu umfahren. Dann erreicht man die Kapelle Koeppchen mit außergewöhnlichem Blick über die Weinberge und die Mosel.
