Cable-Secured Passage in Hunsrück Forest

Highlight • Trail

Well, just because there is a steel cable as a safety device in a few places doesn't mean the path is a via ferrata. Everything is doable with a little caution. Nothing too wild.

Super varied tour. But you have to have a certain level of fitness and sure-footedness. Very muddy after rain!

We like such rivers Pure nature. I picked out the tour at Komoot and shortened it a little because we didn't start until later due to weather reasons. But just great.

Unfortunately, the cell phone battery gave up, so you can only see about half of the tour. Tour itself was super good.

Erbachklam dream loop,

You don't actually have to write much about it.

But today Hunsbuckel and I were spared from global warming. At the start …

At the end of the weekend, another real highlight, before we unfortunately had to head home, was the Ehrbachklamm dream loop. It not only boasts a wonderful path along the Ehrbach stream through the gorge, but the second section back above the gorge also boasts beautiful paths through the forest and consistently stunning views of the valley.
