Thörnich

Moselle loop seen from the Thörnicher Ritsch.

From left to right you can see the villages Klüsserath, Köwerich, Eurostrand-Leiwen and Thörnich.

The Ritsch is very steep. If you want to hike the via ferrata, you have to overcome about 500 meters, with a height difference to the first lookout point of about 90 meters.

Sunset on a beautiful late autumn day. Alternatively, you can also hike along the less steep trails, such as the "Gackes-Pfad" and the „Enggaß-Pfad“.

What a view and thermals! The Moselle loop forms here a natural amphitheater.

The Thörnicher Ritsch has a slope inclination of over 60 degrees.

The English and Swedish royal family know very well to appreciate this good wine.

The Moselle is the largest steep-slope growing area in the world!

Because of the low water level this year, the container ship can be loaded little.

When Konrad Adenauer left for Moscow in 1955 to negotiate the release of the German prisoners,

he had a few bottles of Thörnicher Ritsch wines in his luggage in order to attune his negotiating partners` mildness.

at the frontiers between two vineyards: the Klüsserath and the Thörnicher Ritsch.

A magical moment for us and our darling Bobby, too. He watched that scenery for quite some time.

One of the most stunning experiences is watching the sunrise in the cloud free sky on the top of the Thörnicher Ritsch vineyard.
