On the new wooden plank path you can hike through the Ehlesbruch moor without damaging this fragile nature. Several benches invite you to take a break and you can find out more about the moor habitat on information boards.

Today we went with the TVO (Travel Operator) over the Gipfelrauschen dream loop. It truly deserves its title.
Great root-filled trails, a small moor, and views (in good weather).

February 16, 2025,Erbeskopf: Traumschleife Gipfelrauschen 2.0

After a super good and hearty breakfast at cafe-hunsrueckhaus.de Hunsrückhaus, we set off for the summit in wintry weather. At the top we noticed that the route of the TS had been changed. The beautiful, exposed and partially blocked section of the path on the other side of the mountain is simply closed because of trees lying across it. It's …

This morning I went to Erbeskopf to hike the TS Gipfelrauschen! Phew, what an icy wind that greeted me at the Hunsrückhaus! Luckily I had taken precautions!! Since the route isn't particularly long, it feels like it's always up or down! 🙄 The routes through the forest have also become less frequent, as so much deforestation has taken place! As …

After the Börfinker Ochsentour I had to satisfy my hunger. I drove to the forest inn in Hüttgeswasen, where I had actually planned to stop for the long tour. I was still in a dead zone, but with WiFi I was able to see where I could do another round after eating. The decision was made quickly. The starting point …

Parked at the summit of the Erbeskopf at 814m. Under very cloudy skies, we went down narrow paths, wide forest paths, and rocky paths. The many tree fungi, ferns, and trees infested by bark beetles and dead trees are striking. We cross a moorland area over a footbridge with beautiful benches. Finally, we reach the climbing park, the trail park, …

The valley was shrouded in fog, so we headed up to the Erbeskopf. There, we were greeted by a clear blue sky. We hiked through the forest and over some rather slippery planks. Then the fog rolled in, enveloping everything in a quaint gray.
