Lookout tower and shelter on Kleb

Highlight • Viewpoint

Barbecue hut with observation tower, which unfortunately is not high enough to allow a view of the valley, as long as the trees are leafy. Far-sightedness is possible. No dizziness due to lack of height and closed construction.

Medieval Path Herrstein

Highlight • Trail

Herrstein is a beautiful place. This dream loop medieval path is pleasant to walk, varied and with small highlights. One of the highlights is definitely a final visit to the tithe barn. All in all a clear recommendation.

A few climbs, but with beautiful accents. The highlight for us was the Zehntmühle (mill) with its rustic charm and hearty food.

A wonderful tour to slow down and relax. Best done on overcast days as you walk a lot in the fields. Otherwise it's varied with oak forests, rivers, fields and the beautiful medieval town of Herrstein.

What a beautiful tour today! 😃
Small but very nice describes it quite well. At 8.5 km it's not exactly long, but we were still on the road for 4 hours.

The hike starts from the historic village center into the varied landscape of the Edelsteinregion (Gemstone Region) around Herrstein. Gentle ascents and descents, dreamy paths and stream valleys, as well as spectacular views over the Hunsrück. The natural monuments "Jammereiche" and "Rabenkanzel", as well as sensory benches that invite you to linger, complete this hike. The "Mittelalterpfad" (Medieval Trail) was …

The 8.4 km long dream loop "Medieval Path" starts in the historic center of Herrstein. The path is rated with over 90 points, if you want to see panoramic views (possible for this region, you "only" see into the distance without specific points) then you can perhaps give the path this number of points. For all those who want to …

A diverse dream loop. From very extensive trails to small paths through oak forests, it's all there. We didn't need rain jackets. Luck was on our side 😃
