Hermeskeil Aviation Exhibition

Highlight • Monument

An "airplane museum" on the Hunsrück. They are all old machines and the museum probably has had better times.

Hermeskeil Steam Locomotive Museum

Highlight • Monument

A great private museum whose owner preserved huge numbers of Reichsbahn steam locos from being scrapped in the 90's. He himself calls it the locomotive cemetery without sadness, and that suits the mood: now in the spring overgrown with greenery, one industrial monument next to the other. A visit is absolutely worthwhile!

Hermeskeil Railway Museum (Former Hermeskeil Station)

Highlight • Historical Site

Today there is a railway museum on the site of the former Hermeskeil station, which shows a total of around 50 different steam, diesel and electric locomotives. Until the 1980s, the station was an important traffic junction for the Hochwaldbahn. Today it is a beautiful relic of that time on the Ruwer-Hochwald-Radweg, which runs along the old railway line.

Ruwer-Hochwald Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

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. Most of the route runs on the route of the former Hochwaldbahn, only the section Zerf - Mandern sewage treatment plant uses a farm road (nature conservation). The cycle path initially follows the river Ruwer upwards in a southerly direction and crosses it on numerous bridges (the railway line had 28 Ruwer bridges).
