Ehrbachklamm Waterfalls

Highlight • Gorge

In the gorge, one spectacular spot follows the next, the beautifully guided path remains close to the water. Safety ropes and small ladders help you get over rocky areas. Certainly a great adventure for children.

This is one of the more than 100 existing "Saar-Hunsrück dream loops" that make the large area south of the Moselle very attractive as a hiking destination. In the brochure it is described with the words "With magnificent views, the hiking trail leads from the Hunsrück plateau ... into the deep Ehrbach valley. In complete isolation, the path runs along a narrow path along the stream. There are steep ascents and descents with ... surprising views." The dream loop is 8.5 kilometers long, 390 meters in altitude and is described as taking 3 to 4 hours to walk.

"... The Ehrbach rises near the Hunsrück town of Halsenbach and covers around 20 kilometers on its way to the mouth of the Moselle near Brodenbach. It only has a gorge-like character in its two-kilometer-long middle course. This was already known in the Middle Ages to use the water power of the water and operated ten grain and oil mills along the white water. ...

Pretty waterfall that is fed by one of the Ehrbach tributaries. In the immediate vicinity is a bank that invites you to linger. One of the highlights in the gorge and a great place for a break.

Here the name "Traumschleife" is really justified. An absolutely worthwhile round.
