Scout Moselle Expedition – April 2012

Over the weekend of April 28th/29th 28 Scouts set off on their expedition – a journey with a purpose – to find out more about the Roman settlements on the Moselle. 

One group set off on bikes from Remerschen Youth Hostel and did a 35km round trip taking in Remerschen, Bech-Kleinmacher, Schwebsange, Dalheim, Ellange and Elvange.

The hikers were in three groups and started in Dalheim looking at the amphitheatre and the Vicus Ricciacus, a very important settlement on the Roman road between Trier and Metz. 

 

                                

Their journey then took them via Ellange, Elvange and Wintrange and ended up in Remerschen.  They then took a trip to the local supermarket to buy the ingredients for dinner and cooked some very tasty and imaginative meals using a gas burner and just one

frying pan. 

The Troop then stayed in the Youth Hostel overnight and on Sunday the journey took them by train from Nennig to Trier where they had been set a town quiz.   The leaders were very impressed with the hikers' map-reading skills on Saturday, their culinary prowess and the quiz results on Sunday and everyone was grateful for the lovely weather.
