Forest Path to the Geierlay Suspension Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very exciting path for which you need to have a good sense of running. Many people still walk here with strollers, even though you have to climb quite a bit in places. But you are rewarded with great views.

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!

Had great respect for the bridge. But it wasn't that bad

After we spent the night in Bullay yesterday, today we went on the tour to the Geierlay suspension rope bridge (360 m long, 100 m high) on the way back to the Lower Rhine.

We started in Forst (car park cemetery) from where the path leads us across fields in the direction of Mörsdorf through shady forests past (still existing) …

Round trip from Forst in the Hunsrück crossing the Geierlay suspension rope bridge. It spans the Mörsdorfer Bachtal and was opened on October 3rd, 2015. The bridge has a total length of 360 m and is one of the longest suspension rope bridges in Europe. The maximum height above the ground is almost 100 m.👍😀🌉

A great tour! Varied, sometimes exhausting and unfortunately muddy in places, but still quite easy to walk. For a long time we don't meet anyone until we slowly approach the Geierlay. Then it gets a little crowded, even though we're on a Tuesday. At weekends and on public holidays I would rather avoid routes with such visitor attractions anyway. Otherwise, …

On the last days of my vacation, we chose the longest rope suspension bridge in Europe in the Hunsrück as our excursion destination.
We reached the bridge through beautiful narrow paths directly along the stream and through nature. 360m long and 100m high above the ground. An absolute highlight. Gigantic. Crossing the bridge is a must and you're floating above …

For the suspension bridge, please see if your dog can handle it. Rather not force anything and turn back!

A very nice unexpected round. Up and down small paths. Along the stream ... nice places to rest. Definitely slippery in wet weather. Luckily not so crowded. Didn't expect the paths to be so beautiful. Unfortunately, the signage is very confusing...
