00:00 Holger Wienpahl hikes the Calmont via ferrata to the summit cross of the Bremmer Calmont. The large vineyard near the small town of Bremm on the Moselle is 376 meters high and is considered the steepest vineyard in Europe. In 2002, the German Alpine Association built a via ferrata there. The path leads right through the vineyard, is adventurous and nerve-wracking in places, but is always well secured by steel cables, footrests, foot pegs and six ladders. The entire via ferrata is 3.5 kilometers long and offers breathtaking views of the wild and romantic Moselle loop in the valley. 11:00 After two thirds of the route, Holger Wienpahl leaves the via ferrata to tackle the steepest and most demanding part of the tour on the so-called "Fear of Death". 15:50 On the subsequent high path, a faithful replica of a Roman temple awaits before Holger Wienpahl meets the author and speaker Sabine Asgodom. At the summit cross, the two talk about the courage to take new and unknown paths in life. 25:13 On the subsequent descent, magnificent views await before the tour ends again in Bremm. Sturdy shoes and a head for heights are essential for this almost six-kilometer-long and challenging circular route. From the Wienpahl hikes series: Middle Rhine instead of Mallorca. Moselle instead of Milan. Eifel instead of the Eiffel Tower. In "Wienpahl hikes", SWR presenter and hiking enthusiast Holger Wienpahl presents the most beautiful hiking trails in Rhineland-Palatinate, such as the Calmont via ferrata near Bremm on the Moselle, the Rheingold dream loop and the Loreley extra tour on the Middle Rhine or the "Devilish Eight", which in the southern Eifel leads from the Irrel waterfalls to the Devil's Gorge near Ernzen, among other places. The focus of the four circular routes is always the beauty of the path with its geographical and historical features. At the same time, each path taken is also a source of thought experiments. Holger Wienpahl is inspired by the trails and (almost) always meets someone along the way to exchange thoughts with them, looking for moments in life that also broaden your own horizons.
