Great path on bouncy forest floor.
Nevertheless, you don't just have to walk through, you can also take a break on the bench.

Forest Path to the Geierlay Suspension Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very exciting path for which you need to have a good sense of running. Many people still walk here with strollers, even though you have to climb quite a bit in places. But you are rewarded with great views.

September 2, 2024,Geierlayschleife en Masdascher Burgherrenweg

I start in Mörsdorf to walk the Geierlayschleife, where I also cross the suspension bridge. It can be very busy here, but because it is still so early, I hope it will be quiet.
It is about a 3 km walk to the suspension bridge. It is fun to walk over it, but not really spectacular.
The route that follows …

Was that great! A breathtaking experience that I wasn't sure I would dare if I stood in front of the Geierlay suspension bridge. It towers a hundred meters over a valley and is three hundred and sixty meters long. For a long time it haunted the back of my mind as a dream destination ... ..Thursday it was so far. …

Pentecost hike with Gabi.
Finally stable sunny weather🙂
We have already walked over the Geierlay suspension bridge in 2016. The two hiking routes were new to us.
The dream loop "Masdascher Burgherrenpfad" was really outstandingly beautiful under the current conditions! Great paths, very lovingly created and maintained and with a few nice highlights.
A visit to the Geierlay suspension bridge …

The tour started from the parking lot at the ruins. It is a circular hike "Masdascher Burgherrenweg", which is a dream tour of the Saar - Hunsrück, with a detour to the "Geierlay Bridge", which was built in 2015 and was the longest suspension rope bridge in Germany for a short time, and we also saw the actual "Geierlay Bridge" …

A nice tour that you can also quietly repeat. We started in glorious weather and took the Geierlay with us. It was pretty busy there 🙄 When we got back to the TS, it started to rain and didn't stop. But it was okay. Until we entered the open field shortly before the finish (about one more kilometer). The lock …

May 27, 2025,"Traumschleife" Masdascher Burgherrenweg (Mastershausen) & Geierlay Hängebrücke (Mörsdorf) - Hunsrück

The trail primarily leads through diverse forest, with short sections crossing open fields. Some charming views, beautiful stretches of water, and small stream valleys are part of the natural features, as are numerous small rock formations. Small information panels at several points provide information about the features along the trail.

June 8, 2024,TS Burgherrenweg + Geierlay🤩 08.06.2024

What a great, varied day of hiking. The Geierlay suspension bridge has been on Marcel's wish list for a long time. Together with the TS Burgherrenweg, it's a very nice round. High proportion of paths, many lovingly designed rest areas, well-kept paths, the Balduinseck ruins, various tunnels, stream valleys, flowering meadows, the Galgenturm, the beautiful Hallgarten,... it was so wonderfully …

Varied hike with narrow paths and many places to rest. Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in 2018. With the beautiful weather, we added a detour to the Gaierlay suspension bridge.
