Ascent from the Mühlbach

This dream loop is one of the most beautiful in this region. A little adventurous, a little demanding, beautiful single trails, great views. Makes you feel good.

Go through the underpass to the right and you're on the route.
It initially goes uphill for a few meters until the two viewpoints - Kurt-Alich-Blick and Heinz-Bach-Eck follow. The railway path is crossed and we continue above the railway line through the forest. From here it goes up serpentines past the Mühtalbach. From now on, the Hunsrück Railway will be your constant companion. You can see the rails disappearing into the mountain from the Rauher-Berg-Tunnel viewing point, as well as at the Talberg Tunnel.

From here it goes over serpentines partly steeply up past the Mühalbach.
