Upper Baybachtal dream loop

Hiking

The 15-kilometer-long dream loop Upper Baybachtal has impressive viewpoints, idyllic stream valleys and interesting art installations to offer. From the Reifenthal bus stop south of Emmelshausen you go into the beautiful Baybachtal. You hike to Layenmühle, where you begin the climb to the hill with a rest area. With a view of the town of Schwall, the hike takes you north, passing several art objects and sculptures along the way.

Then you head back to the wonderful Baybachtal: you hike past waterfalls, rest huts and over bridges in a relaxed manner for the next few kilometers. From the valley you climb up to the cross on the Hoch-Lay, where you can enjoy an impressive view. The dream loop then runs along the edge of the forest to Bickenbach. You finally get back to the starting point of the round on field and forest paths.

Hand & Foot Art Installation

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of the forest you come across the art installation “Hand & Foot”. There is a bench opposite the sculpture so you can sit down and think deeply.

One of the larger rest areas on the Baybach. In addition to an octagonal shelter, a picnic bench is available. Across the Eichelbach leads a bridge, which is usually not needed for a crossing. In high season or on weekends you are never alone.

The cross on the Hoch-Ley above the Baybachtal offers a wonderful view. But be careful: anyone who thinks this is a summit cross is mistaken. It goes a little higher, up the Ackersberg.

I think this tour is very nice for the dogs, as it mainly goes through shady forest, but also small parts of open fields. Andx also beautiful along the Baybach. For me personally, no views, no real highlights, more of a beautiful forest and meadow circuit.

Today is "International Women's Day" and what do women do on a day like that? That's right. Hiking. Like on almost every other Saturday of the year.
This time I decided on the Hunsrück and specifically the dream loop Upper Baybach Valley (No. 104) and took the 620 bus from Koblenz to Leiningen/Schloß Reifenthal early in the morning, where I …

Today the condition of the path was a stark contrast to yesterday. You are mainly on narrow forest paths and trails, with a constant up and down through the very beautiful upper Babybach valley. Although the path does not offer such a stark highlight as the gorge, otherwise it does not have to hide from the Baybachklamm dream loop (komoot.de/tour/226844328?ref=aso). …

For me, as a big Hunsrück fan, this dream loop was a real treat for the soul today
So much water in the streams, the great slate rocks and the wonderful landscape over forest and field. Very beautiful!
The weather was great and luckily the mud I was expecting was okay.
Absolutely recommendable dream loop😍😍👍🎒🥾

Our hike for May 1st was the Saar-Hunsrück Dream Loops: "Upper Baybach Valley."

Tip:
At Strieders Mill, located directly on the trail, you can enjoy a cool drink or a small snack before continuing the tour along the Baybach stream.

Left early to be back home in the heat... nice round, varied paths accompanied by many highlights!

A disappointing tour for me, apart from 2 or 3 places...
Hardly any paths, few highlights...
If you want to cover a lot of kilometers, or chat a lot in the group (you definitely won't miss anything), you can do the route. Otherwise - at least I - wouldn't recommend it.

Today, after a lot of sun was reported, Tanja once again chose a dream loop for us.
Beautiful paths, wildly romantic elf forest, streams that were more like rivers, lots of slate, great rest/viewpoints and fabulous hiking weather made our girls' Monday a dream day on the Oberes Baybachtal dream loop.
♥️♥️♥️

The Upper Baybachtal dream loop is one of my “very favorite routes”. Not a second, not a meter will be boring here, simply because the Baybachtal is so beautiful.
