Tips from the Community
The bridge is definitely worth a visit. Best to park at parking lot P1 in Mörsdorf. From there, simply follow the signs. The parking lot costs €10. No card payment at the machine. I find the parking fee okay because the bridge is free. Elsewhere, you also have to pay admission for a suspension bridge. Come as early as possible, then the parking lot and the bridge are nice and empty. When the bridge is nice and empty, it doesn't swing so much. Might be important for some.

The Geierlay Suspension Bridge is a spectacular pedestrian bridge in Germany, located in the Hunsrück region between the villages of Mörsdorf and Sosberg. It is one of the longest and highest suspended pedestrian bridges in Europe and was the longest in Germany* upon its opening in 2015. The bridge is 360 meters long and hangs 100 meters above the Mörsdorfer Bachtal, offering impressive views. The bridge was built based on Nepalese suspension bridges and weighs approximately 57 to 62 tons. The footpath is narrow, only 85 centimeters wide, allowing oncoming traffic to just pass. The bridge can carry a maximum of around 950 people with a maximum load of 76.5 tons. Pedestrians should be aware that the bridge can sway slightly, but wind shear lines minimize this movement. Construction began in May 2015, and the bridge opened on October 3, 2015. The total cost was approximately €1.14 million, largely funded by the EU and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Visitors can access the bridge free of charge year-round, but parking is paid in nearby villages. Hiking and cycling trails, including the Geierlay Radrundweg, surround the bridge. Bicycles can be rented at the visitor center near the bridge. The Geierlay Suspension Bridge attracts many tourists every year, partly because of the magnificent views and the unique experience of walking across such an impressive bridge at such a great height. For those with a fear of heights, tips are available to overcome your fear, as the view and the experience make it well worth the visit. Summary: - Length: 360 meters - Height above the valley floor: 100 meters - Weight: approximately 57-62 tons - Construction: May to October 2015 - Cost: approximately €1.14 million - Location: Hunsrück, Germany, between Mörsdorf and Sosberg - Admission: Free (parking fees apply) - Footpath width: 85 cm - Experience: A slightly wobbly suspension bridge with panoramic views This bridge is a popular tourist attraction, ideal for hikers and nature lovers seeking a unique experience in Germany's Moselle region. * The longest suspension bridge in Germany is the Skywalk Willingen.
