Ahringsbach Valley

This beautiful forest path leads you almost imperceptibly from the pretty parish church up through the stream valley. Hopefully, you won't experience the same fate as the hurdy-gurdy man from Ahringsbach, who had to flee to a tree to escape a bear.

"...The Ahringsbach is a forest stream over 12 km long in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district of Rhineland-Palatinate, which, after flowing northwest near Enkirch, flows from the left into the Großbach, a tributary of the Moselle. The Ahringsbach is one of the typical Hunsrück streams in the Moselle catchment area. ..."

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/AhringsbachThe Ahringsbach valley stretches completely isolated from the Hunsrück Heights Road near Irmenach down to Enkirch. Near Starkenburg, only a narrow slate ridge separates the valley from the Moselle. Those with a little luck might experience something that was once part of everyday life in the Hunsrück: a water-powered grain mill in action, the 👉 Upper Starkenburg Mill!
