アルフの峡谷・トップ15

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.

What sounds so romantic gets its name from the "Liebesbach", which is actually called Lienischbach.

Was there in September, good shoes required. It was very nice again despite the rainy weather.

Please be considerate of hikers.

"...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. ..." MORE INFORMATION: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahringsbach The 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!

Now in spring the Faitschbach still has a lot of water. It's fun to hike along it. In the summer months, however, the stream could have dried up.

Here, you can hike along the Cochem Knight's Trail, amidst the babbling waters of the Faitschbach stream. Just listen and enjoy.
