The Moselle River Valley Near Piesport

Approaching Piesport on road L50 reveals one of the most spectacular views of the Moselle river  valley to the faithful traveler. Descending this serpentine road into the village from the Eifel highlands can cause a feeling of effusiveness while viticultural trails shoot off in all different directions. This experience is augmented at grape harvest when vintagers arduously negotiate the steep slopes to collect the harvest as tractors haul the large plastic bins into which the grape pickers empty their load.
