Bring enough small change, open from spring

The Hoxeler Viaduct (also known as "Ennisch Breck") is a truly impressive relic of the Hunsrückquerbahn railway: 8 stone arches, approximately 160 m long and around 42 m high – a perfect photo spot overlooking the Herchenbach valley. 📸 The best views can be found on the "viaduct loop" or along the 10th stage of the Saar-Hunsrück Trail (Erbeskopf → Morbach).

A beautifully rustic side valley. The namesake of the tour.

The start of the hiking trail is easy to find. The signage is very good.

Unfortunately, this beautiful hut with a wide view is only just before the end of the hike

After a rather steep climb, you reach this refuge, which offers a magnificent view over the Dhron Valley. Here you'll also find a first-aid kit and a guest book, which is worth leaving a few kind words of thanks for this lovely place to rest.

The Hölzbach Gorge is the absolute highlight and namesake of the Traumschleife Hunolsteiner Gorge Tour, a highly varied premium circular hiking trail in the Hunsrück. This section is an impressive, approximately 800-meter-long stretch of untouched nature, located in the last third of the trail, just before the Hölzbach flows into the Dhron. The path through the deeply cut, gorge-like ravine is a wildly romantic experience, where the gurgling and bubbling water of the stream creates a cool and almost magical soundscape that surrounds the hiker. Here, the stream winds its way between slate cliffs and large boulders, forming rapids and small waterfalls, and providing a cool home for ferns and mosses. The gorge is accessed on narrow paths that require surefootedness and sturdy footwear; in some more challenging sections, there are even ropes for support to make the climb easier. The crossing of the Hölzbachklamm is the most intense and wildest part of the entire tour and left us with a lasting impression of the primal power of the Hunsrück nature.

At this point, the Ewenfeld (a field laid out on the plain) opens up, a floodplain between the Kesselberg and Bocksberg mountains. The meadows of this floodplain were once irrigated by a moat. Only touched by pastoral farming, we find a small tributary valley of the Drhon River here, which has been preserved in its natural state with its flora and fauna. The field name Herrenwiese refers to the manorial land of the Reeves of Hunolstein. The valley once belonged to the immediate vicinity of Hunolstein Castle. The land was entrusted to the lordly estate manager of the winery, or rather, the Elector's waiter, for management. The relatively new "Häja Wiesn Schänke" (Häja Wiesn Schänke) offers both alcoholic (proof of age required) and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. Payment is made on a trust basis, e.g., in cash or via PayPal. Benches invite you to linger.
