Schinderhannes Cycle Path

Passable all year round with beautiful views.

Very nice to drive

The Schinderhannes cycle path in the Hunsrück is 38 km long and runs as a rail route over the former Hunsrück railway from Simmern via Kastellaun to Emmelshausen. The path is named after the German robber Johannes Bückler, also known as Schinderhannes, whose raids mainly took place in the Hunsrück.The cycle path was completed in 1999 and opened for cyclists, skaters and walkers. It is completely paved and runs largely flat across the Hunsrück north of Simmern towards the heights of the Rhine around Emmelshausen. The cycle path is signposted in both directions. Its black and white logo stylized shows the eponymous Schinderhannes armed with a pistol. A total of 174 meters of ascent and 289 meters of descent can be expected between the start and finish point.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schinderhannes-Radweg
