Thematically, the Masdascher Burgherrenweg belongs to the dream loops of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig. The starting point of the beautiful circular hike is in the center of Mastershausen. The highlights of this lovely hike, besides lots of nature, are the Roman tower and the Balduinseck castle ruins.

A trail to enjoy solitude and silence in unspoiled nature. Along the way, you will discover secluded valleys, deep tunnels, rugged slate cliffs and ancient walls from the Celtic, Roman and knightly eras. Wonderful distant views and fantastic panoramic views on the heights, stories of mills in the valleys and an extraordinary castle ruin with defiant walls.

The Masdascher Burgherrenweg takes us through the deeply cut narrow valley of the Mastershausen stream, where until half a century ago there was active mill operation, and leads to the Balduinseck ruin, an impressive fortress from the 14th century.

The Felsenweg in Zilshausen is walkable again! Due to the snow break in January 2023, about 150 trees made the path impassable. These have now been deliberately cleared only so much that in some places it has become an obstacle course with many challenges. The route is therefore partly significantly more demanding. A T T E N T I O N: Be sure to walk the route from the sports field southwards and in the forest from Mörzer Bank northwards, as the path is only marked in this direction with the Felsenweg symbol and yellow dots. Please be sure to bring a navigation option like Outdooractive. The route has only a few benches.

    Sehr schöner Weg, mit meinem Sohn gegangen, viel Pfad durch den Wald, viel zu lesen und zu lernen, viele Bänke zum Ausruhen und ein toller Sitzplatz an einem Biotop.

    Bin von der Burgruine ( kostenloser, kleiner Parkplatz) losgegangen ( Beschilderung Masdascher Herrenweg ) dann die Geierlay-Schleife, inklusive Hängebrücke und wieder zurück zur Ruine. Eine wunderschöne Runde von knapp 16 Kilometer und 370 Meter Aufstieg. Die Runde ist sehr gut Beschildert und hat viele, gepflegte Rastplätze.

    Traumschleife. Sehr gepflegt. Viele Infotafeln. Erdkühlschrank. Haben die Wanderung an der Burgruine begonnen, so hat man den Anstieg ziemlich am Anfang. Die Höhenmeter stimmen aber nicht. Es sind keine 306m sondern ca. 500m.

    Für mich ist diese Schleife die schönste im Hunsrück: Sehr gute Wegführung, Pflege und Ausschilderung. Natur, Kultur und regionales Wissen ideal miteinander verbunden. Kompliment an die Verantwortlichen!

    Im GPX Track ist ein kleiner Fehler, da wurde wohl mal ein Umweg eingebaut, der nicht hier aktualisiert wurde. Anhand der Beschilderung findet man sich allerdings hervorragend zurecht. Jetzt im November war der Weg nicht sonderlich gut geräumt, was uns persönlich allerdings gar nicht gestört hat, macht das ganze abenteuerlicher;)

    Sehr schöner, anspruchsvoller Weg. Teilweise könnte die Markierung besser sein. Trotz Navigation 2x falsch abgebogen. Bei Nässe würde ich ihn allerdings nicht gehen. Herrliche Stunden in der Natur ohne einer Menschenseele zu begegnen. Empfehlungen: Wanderstöcke und lange Hose 😉

    Eine der schönsten Traumschleifen, da lohnt sich auch eine weitere Anreise. Fast ausschließlich wunderbare Pfade, die hervorragend gepflegt sind. Die Anzahl und Ausstattung an Rastmöglichkeiten sucht auch seinesgleichen. Großen Respekt und vielen Dank an die Wegpaten!
