The starting point of the tour is the historic Herrstein, a piece of living Hunsrück history. Narrow alleys, intricately decorated half-timbered houses, and picturesque squares with bubbling fountains.
The tour runs away from noise and hustle in the picturesque low mountain landscape of the Hunsrück, a piece of still untouched nature with the best climate, vast forest areas, and no industry. Rest benches invite you to linger, and often we are rewarded on panoramic paths with breathtaking distant views.
