Dream Loop Upper Baybach Valley

Highlight • Trail

Here the Hunsrückhöhenstraße leads over the Baybach.
Instead of choosing the dangerous path on the busy road, you can also go under the bridge next to the Baybach ..
The hiking car park is not far from the bridge.

Parking Area and Trailhead for Traumschleife Oberes Baybachtal

Highlight • Parking

The parking lot is also used by couriers and craftsmen as a resting place, as not visible from the passing Hunsrückhöhenstraße. The road to the other side towards Hausbay is quite dangerous across the street, but there is a crossing under a bridge along the Baybach.

Kehlenmühle

Highlight • Historical Site

The mill was called the “Schwekarts Mill” before 1790. The ancestors of today's residents already lived there around 1800. At that time a woman named Kehl married into this mill. Hence the name “Kehlenmühle”.
The old water wheel was on the gable side of the house. It was powered by a watercourse that ran beneath the current road. Shortly after the Second World War, the grinder rattled here for the last time.

Here, between the forest and the field, the hiker/walker comes across a shrine dedicated to the Mother of God, Mary. The basic construction is made of wood, and the portrait of Mary holding the baby Jesus in her arms is a copper plate.

Wayside Cross in Reifenthal

Highlight • Monument

The village of Reifenthal branches off right next to the busy main road. After a few meters, hikers are greeted by this small sacred monument: a wooden wayside cross with a body, gable roof and diamond-shaped back wall.
