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!

Burgberg Via Ferrata

The Burgberg via ferrata overcomes a small rock formation. On one side over a large ladder, on the other side over iron steps set into the rock.

Cave Gorge Via Ferrata

Highlight • Climb

The highest ascent and descent on the Layensteig dream loop via two steel ladders. If you have weak nerves, you can use a steep serpentine path next door.

Accommodation at Liesenicher Schieferstollen.
The partially reconstructed building can be assigned to the still buried tunnel about 100 m above. Based on research, it can be assumed that the tunnel …

May 31, 2024,🐶 Burgberg-Klettersteig – Höhlenschlucht-Klettersteig, Runde von Mörsdorf

For two years, the Geierlay suspension bridge was the longest in Germany at 360 m. Reason enough to marvel at this structure and of course to walk on it 😉. There are surprisingly few fluctuations in the middle of the bridge, even though some people were traveling with us in both directions and here too, around 100 meters in altitude …

Today's station wagon was a very nice round, it mainly ran through quaint, romantic stream valleys. The damp ground made it very muddy and slippery in places. The highlights were the via ferrata passages and the Geierlay suspension rope bridge, both of which are manageable. It felt like it was just uphill all day 😅.

We also started the second loop from Mörsdorf. Today it rained almost all day. The first 10 km it was relaxed. Then came the climbing routes. Even with this weather we dared it although there was a circumnavigation. But it was fun. My son, who knew nothing about it, was happy. In the end it was more kilometers than we …

After two days of constant rain, we took advantage of the better weather today and went to the Geierlay suspension rope bridge, and later in the forest also took a few via ferratas with us.

Today's hike had long been slumbering in my planned tours; I took it over from @Jingle Bells.
And following her recommendation, I drove there for sunrise.

First off: it will be a long comment, but it's due to my enthusiasm.

And again dream loops 😀 again very nice 😊 this time also over the bridge 😳 was okay but I don't have to go over it again 🙈

Hike with obstacles 🙈
After yesterday's storm, many paths were almost impassable from fallen trees 😢. Actually, I wanted to walk Baybachklamm which is closed as well as the Geierlaybrücke, so my tour is not recommended. I would have to improvise to get to the other side 🙈 First of all, I'm happy that I had my hiking sticks with …
