Climbing route in Kreuzbachklamm

Highlight • Climb

The Kreuzbachklamm was repaired together with the Morgenbachtal for 180,000 euros (8/2019).
The Kreuzbachklamm requires sturdy shoes and a bit of stamina for the ascent, but there is no more storm damage (a bridge was left sawed into pieces, the path leads a few meters around it).
The "via ferrata" is easy to master and easy for dogs to bypass.
The path is not only suitable for prams.

Wooden marble run

Highlight • Structure

At the lower end of the marble run you will find (if no one has stolen it) wooden balls that you can send down the marble run and enjoy caroms and slaloms.

Kreuzbach Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is part of the RheinBurgenWeg from Trechtingshausen to Bingen. It is well maintained and spans a valley of approx. 20 meters deep. The length of the bridge is about 50 meters. A small highlight on the hiking trail.

Hello, a very nice hike. But the description at the beginning is really slightly exaggerated, so in some cases it's not for the inexperienced. But overall you can do it well, so have fun hiking 😉. If you're ever in the area

It counts today. The only day the sun should shine all day. But where is that exactly? While browsing the weather map, I came across the Imperial Palace. I also discovered some nice highlights in Komoot. Now it's time to pack your clothes, prepare provisions, put on your outdoor clothes and fire up the car. Around 11:00 a.m. we arrived …
