Beautiful, narrow path that follows the course of the Mastershauserner Bach. Sure-footedness and good footwear are particularly required in damp / wet weather, as the roots and slate stones then become slippery ...

Varied round trip. From this side you can walk against the current to the suspension bridge. You can park for free at the castle or in the immediate vicinity.

A very nice unexpected round. Up and down small paths. Along the stream ... nice places to rest. Definitely slippery in wet weather. Luckily not so crowded. Didn't expect the paths to be so beautiful. Unfortunately, the signage is very confusing...

The Geierlay suspension bridge is a lovely excursion destination - and even more recommended in combination with this lovely circular route.

A lovely little circular route that first leads over the Geierlay suspension bridge and then back through the valley.
