De 8 bästa ravinerna runt Burtscheid

Idyllisk, naturskön dal längs Forstelbach. Smala stigar, porlande vatten och täta skogsavsnitt skapar en särskilt lugn och ursprunglig atmosfär. En vacker sträcka att hämta andan, njuta och vandra avslappnat.

It's also good to run in winter, even in snow.

The path follows a narrow path along the gorge. At difficult sections, there are ropes for support.

The Hölzbach Gorge is the absolute highlight and namesake of the Hunolsteiner Gorge Tour, a premium circular hiking trail with exceptional diversity in the Hunsrück region. This impressive section encompasses approximately 800 meters of untouched nature and lies in the final third of the hike, just before the Hölzbach flows into the Dhron River. Hikers plunge into a deeply cut, gorge-like ravine, crossing which is a wildly romantic experience: the gurgling and bubbling water of the stream creates a cool, almost magical soundscape. The stream winds its way between slate cliffs and large boulders, forming rapids and small waterfalls, and creating a humid habitat for ferns and mosses. The narrow path through the gorge requires surefootedness and sturdy footwear. Ropes are provided in some challenging sections to assist in safely mastering the ascent. The passage through the Hölzbach Gorge is the most intense and wildest part of the tour and leaves all visitors with a lasting impression of the primal power of the Hunsrück nature.

Beautiful rock formations. Good for photos or to linger.

Unfortunately, the bench was already full on our walk through the Hölzbach Gorge. This is a great place for a rest!

Nice rest area right next to the gorge with a table.

The Forstelbach Valley near Hermeskeil is an idyllic, wooded valley traversed by the Forstelbach stream. The stream originates in Hermeskeil and flows into the Prims River. Numerous small ponds dot the landscape along the water. Particularly noteworthy is the return of the beaver, which has significantly transformed the valley with its dams and lodges. The Hermeskeil Beaver Trail leads hikers through the area, past a modern rest hut and information panels about the animals. The Forstelbach Valley offers a diverse natural experience and is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers.
