라이덴하우젠 최고의 러닝 경로

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

We started in Cochem. Right from the start, the road climbed steeply. Then it descended back into the valley, only to then climb the next mountain again. A real challenge for us flatlanders from the Rhineland. The finish line involved a walk across the Geierlay suspension bridge. Not recommended for those with a fear of heights. We looked for the way back off the road and found it in the forest. The last stretch then led us past the Moselle River again.

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.

The Geierlay Hängeseilbrücke, or Geierlay Suspension Bridge, is one of the most famous suspension bridges in Germany. It opened in 2015 in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, near the villages of Mörsdorf and Sosberg. The idea for the bridge was to revitalize tourism in the Hunsrück region by attracting visitors to enjoy the beautiful natural landscapes. The 360-meter-long and 100-meter-high bridge spans the Geierlay valley, offering stunning views of the surrounding forests and hills. Inspired by suspension bridges in the Swiss Alps, its construction aimed to combine safety with a thrilling experience. Since its opening, the Geierlay has become a popular destination for adventurers, hikers and nature lovers, and has become an iconic symbol of the region.
