Views & Hiking
Trier sits in the Moselle valley, with ridges rising on both sides. The Mariensäule (Marian Column) on the Markusberg is the city's signature viewpoint, the Petrisberg offers hiking trails above the university, and the Olewiger Weinkulturpfad (Olewig Wine Culture Trail) winds through the steep Riesling slopes.
