Very cool castle ruins 🚴♂️

We started in Cochem. Right from the start, the road climbed steeply. Then it descended back into the valley, only to then climb the next mountain again. A real challenge for us flatlanders from the Rhineland. The finish line involved a walk across the Geierlay suspension bridge. Not recommended for those with a fear of heights. We looked for the way back off the road and found it in the forest. The last stretch then led us past the Moselle River again.

The Geierlay Hängeseilbrücke, or Geierlay Suspension Bridge, is one of the most famous suspension bridges in Germany. It opened in 2015 in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, near the villages of Mörsdorf and Sosberg. The idea for the bridge was to revitalize tourism in the Hunsrück region by attracting visitors to enjoy the beautiful natural landscapes. The 360-meter-long and 100-meter-high bridge spans the Geierlay valley, offering stunning views of the surrounding forests and hills. Inspired by suspension bridges in the Swiss Alps, its construction aimed to combine safety with a thrilling experience. Since its opening, the Geierlay has become a popular destination for adventurers, hikers and nature lovers, and has become an iconic symbol of the region.
