Kleinich Protestant Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church, built in the late 18th century, is Kleinich's landmark. The early Romanesque bell tower was preserved from a previous building. Inside, the fascinating organ, built in 1809 by the renowned Hunsrück organ-building family Stumm, is a must-see.

March 24, 2022,Moselsteig Seitensprung: Kirchspiel's Tälertour
Saved three years ago, I finally tackled the tour today, which was awarded 61 points by the DWI. Could be a few more I think.
Admittedly, a lot of it is on field and forest paths, partly also asphalt, but there are also branching paths, beautiful views and a heavenly peace in the deep valleys.

Very nice tour in the Hunsrück. Unfortunately there are few information boards and benches. Compared to the official route, the last km seems to have been moved (to the advantage of the tour).

Could also be a dream loop, highly recommended...

Had 2 tours to choose from today😉 This tour won the race because there was only a 17% chance of rain. When I arrived at the starting point, I had a completely different problem 😳😳😳 Wind, but how. It was really storming. Bina wanted to get back in the car, Timmi didn't even want to get out, I couldn't see …

Very nice route... so that the "chassis" doesn't (completely) forget how to walk🤭

Let's go in Kleinich. A very varied tour through dense forests and past streams. Smaller waterfalls and high rock formations are the highlights of this tour.

Since the Reformation, many small towns around the Hunsrück town of Kleinich have formed a parish, the Protestant "Kirchspiel" Kleinich. The name has remained common to this day, even after the French Revolution when the civil authority came into being and the parish became the municipality of Kleinich.
This is also the name of the Moselsteig side jump Kirchspiels Tälertour. …

The start and finish is the fire station in Kleinich. Even the last few kilometers of the journey were a pleasure because I really liked the small towns.
Today I am in the parish.

We leave the town immediately …
