Geierlay suspension rope bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The bridge has a total length of 360 m and is thus one of the longest suspended rope bridges in Europe. The maximum height above the ground is just under 100 meters. The dead weight is 62 tons. The bridge can be accessed for free and is open year-round except during storms and thunderstorms.
The name of the bridge is taken from the field name of the district on which the bridge is located: A rocky slope called Geierslay, which probably got this name, because in the vicinity of the rock (see also Ley) numerous birds of prey live. The word "vulture", derived from the Middle High German "gir" as a noun of "greedy", is still a trivial term for a number of different species of birds of prey.
The overall concept of the Geierlay includes a visitor center with a large pay parking, also for coaches. In the visitor center there is a bistro. The bridge itself can only be reached on foot or by bike over 1.8 km of well-paved path. For the way back I do not recommend the same way over the bridge, but through the valley below, which is very nice.

Forest trail along the Mörsdorfer Bach (Geierlay Loop)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A wonderful hiking trail that is part of the Geierlay loop. You have to walk a little out of the village, but shortly after the last houses this beautiful trail starts past a ravine with a stream. Highly recommended, even if you don't want to go over the bridge.
