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.

Here is a way to the open air stage. The open-air stage is a replica Wester village and is located in the old quarry of Pluwig.
