Covered bridge over the Ruwer River

Highlight • Bridge

The Ruwer-Hochwald cycle path is another highlight of the railway cycle paths in the Hunsrück. The 48-kilometer route from Trier / Ruwer to Hermeskeil is one of the most beautiful bike paths on railway lines in Germany.

Ruwer-Hochwald Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Where bicycles roll today, trains used to steam. The historic railway line of the Ruwer-Hochwald-Bahn is transformed into the Ruwer-Hochwald-Radweg. Like the former railway line, the cycle path with a length of around 50 kilometers connects the Moselle valley with the heights of the Hunsrück. It follows the course of the Ruwer, a tributary of the Moselle. Incidentally, this is also known for its excellent vineyards. He should not only cross seven bridges, but more than 20 times the bike will cross various types of bridge structures. Whether nature and technology, culture and culinary delights, wine and forest: there are many different things that the cycle path between the Moselle valley and the high forest has to offer.
