A magnificent 🏰, looming over the vineyards of the town of Alken 🤩. Wonderfully accessible via the Moselsteig trail or the Traumpfade trail 😊.

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.

If you want to avoid the many visitors who cross the bridge in procession, especially when the weather is nice, you should be at the bridge by 10:00 a.m. at the latest. The bridge can be accessed from both directions and there are several wooden benches and wooden loungers at the entrance points so you can enjoy this impressive masterpiece of engineering.

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

The Ehrbachklamm was opened up in 1921 by the pharmacist Georg Francke from Boppard (1860 to 1926). In 1991, a commemorative plaque was placed in the Ehrbachklamm to mark the 70th anniversary of its existence.

You have to be a little careful with big, heavy or old dogs

The ruins of Thurant Castle (also Thurandt) stand on a wide slate mountain spur high above the town of Alken on the Moselle. It is located in the district of Mayen-Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate) and belongs to the spur castle type. A special feature are - in addition to the location on the steep valley shoulder - the vineyards on the sunny side. From the middle of the 13th century, the archbishoprics of Cologne and Trier were joint owners of the complex and had their respective shares administered by the burgraves. Each half therefore had its own keep, its own residential and farm buildings and a separate entrance. Since the beginning of the 16th century, the double castle gradually fell into disrepair and was completely in ruins due to destruction during the War of the Palatinate Succession. Robert Allmers (1872–1951) from Varel, co-founder of the local Hansa-Automobil Gesellschaft and from 1914 director of the Bremen Hansa-Lloyd-Werke, acquired the plant in 1911 and had some of it rebuilt. The castle is still privately owned today, but can be visited for a fee from March to mid-November. According to the Monument Protection Act of Rhineland-Palatinate, it is a protected cultural monument and entered in the state monument list. The entire facility is designated as a monument zone. Thurant Castle is also a protected cultural asset according to the Hague Convention and is marked with the blue and white trademark.

Whether across the valley or below, a visit is always worthwhile, because the building is imposing and the paths around it are also worth walking.
