ドンマースハウゼンの峡谷・トップ20

This is one of the more than 100 existing "Saar-Hunsrück dream loops" that make the large area south of the Moselle very attractive as a hiking destination. In the brochure it is described with the words "With magnificent views, the hiking trail leads from the Hunsrück plateau ... into the deep Ehrbach valley. In complete isolation, the path runs along a narrow path along the stream. There are steep ascents and descents with ... surprising views." The dream loop is 8.5 kilometers long, 390 meters in altitude and is described as taking 3 to 4 hours to walk.

"... The Ehrbach rises near the Hunsrück town of Halsenbach and covers around 20 kilometers on its way to the mouth of the Moselle near Brodenbach. It only has a gorge-like character in its two-kilometer-long middle course. This was already known in the Middle Ages to use the water power of the water and operated ten grain and oil mills along the white water. ...

Pretty waterfall that is fed by one of the Ehrbach tributaries. In the immediate vicinity is a bank that invites you to linger. One of the highlights in the gorge and a great place for a break.

Beautiful hike along the Ehrbach. Here the name "Traumschleife" is really justified.

Great for taking water photos. Dippers are sometimes spotted.

The term via ferrata is heavily exaggerated. There are well-developed climbing aids in rocky terrain that offer safety on damp ground.

This narrow waterfall can be seen from the main path below. You can either "climb up" directly or look for the barely visible path a few meters further, which leads through the side valley and passes the hidden Rauschenburg ruins below (no signposts to the castle).

A varied hike along the Ehrbach through a gorge. Return after a steep and interesting ascent along great viewpoints. Recommendable. Surefootedness required.
