Breathtaking, and a must-see. Unfortunately a bit out of the way, but definitely worth the trip! Worth mentioning: There's a toilet trailer at Annette Bridge!

Suspension bridge

In great weather and fresh air, we started off from the car park in Mörsdorf towards the suspension bridge. The path there is asphalted. But there are also a lot of people, understandably...

When you get to the bridge, you have to be prepared for a bit of a crowd. Even on the bridge itself.

In damp autumn weather, the tour was very nice, but sometimes very muddy and slippery. Good footwear and surefootedness are necessary.

This morning we left in time with Corrie and Leo for a long weekend in Hünsrück to at least walk the Geierlay bridge. This bridge is the longest pedestrian (suspension) bridge in Germany and is about 360 meters long and hangs 100 meters above the Mörsdorfer Bachtal.
To start the weekend off right, we went straight to the bridge and …

Today we took a relaxed walk along the Saar-Hunsrück Steig, in moderate temperatures. The starting point was the well-attended P2 in Mörsdorf -> up to the 4th hour the fun costs €8.

We reached the Mörsdorfer Bach via the Bergkreuz loop. A beautiful stream that invites you to linger - sit down and listen. After a few meters we continued …

The suspension bridge was the goal today.
You can get to the bridge almost straight from the town of Mörsdorf on a short route, but it's more fun to do a circular route. ☺️
A beautiful tour. 👍🏼 (copied from Komoot 😜)

The hike to the Geierlay Bridge in the Eifel is a great experience that has a lot to offer both nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. The large car park at the start of the hike is easily accessible and offers enough space for the numerous visitors that the bridge attracts every year.

Woohoo 🥳🥂🔝...the ultimate spectacle for me personally 👍 my biggest challenge. And I did it, even though I'm not good with heights. 🤩 Together we are strong...our motto!

The Geierlay suspension bridge spans 360 meters in length and 100 meters in height over the idyllic Mörsdorfer Bach valley from Mörsdorf to Sosberg.

June 1, 2024,Geierlay Schleife & Hängebrücke 😁👍

Today we're going to Mörsdorf to hike the Geierlay loop and then to the suspension bridge.

At first it's a relaxed walk through the forest to get to the Fettsmühle.

From here it's a bit more dreamy... Great paths, with lots of mud and fallen trees, but that makes it much more interesting😁
