It's a beautiful bridge, but far too many people.

As of September 2025: The riverside path along the Flaumbach stream is inaccessible. The access at the Pulgersmühle is completely overgrown (see photo). The access at the end of the path over the bridge is also closed, as the bridge apparently needs repairs (also see photo). A detour is signposted.

The Geierlay Suspension Bridge is a spectacular pedestrian bridge in Germany, located in the Hunsrück region between the villages of Mörsdorf and Sosberg. It is one of the longest and highest suspended pedestrian bridges in Europe and was the longest in Germany* upon its opening in 2015. The bridge is 360 meters long and hangs 100 meters above the Mörsdorfer Bachtal, offering impressive views. The bridge was built based on Nepalese suspension bridges and weighs approximately 57 to 62 tons. The footpath is narrow, only 85 centimeters wide, allowing oncoming traffic to just pass. The bridge can carry a maximum of around 950 people with a maximum load of 76.5 tons. Pedestrians should be aware that the bridge can sway slightly, but wind shear lines minimize this movement. Construction began in May 2015, and the bridge opened on October 3, 2015. The total cost was approximately €1.14 million, largely funded by the EU and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Visitors can access the bridge free of charge year-round, but parking is paid in nearby villages. Hiking and cycling trails, including the Geierlay Radrundweg, surround the bridge. Bicycles can be rented at the visitor center near the bridge. The Geierlay Suspension Bridge attracts many tourists every year, partly because of the magnificent views and the unique experience of walking across such an impressive bridge at such a great height. For those with a fear of heights, tips are available to overcome your fear, as the view and the experience make it well worth the visit.

There are also several recommended hikes around the famous Geierley Bridge. In the valley below the bridge, there are two wooden wave loungers where you can not only take a break, but also enjoy a wonderful view of the famous suspension bridge.

If you take a closer look at the bank of the stream, you will see that the stream bed has been bordered with slate stones.
