In 368/69 AD, Ausonius, a Roman scholar and rhetorician, traveled across the Hunsrück from Bingen to Trier in the entourage of Emperor Valentinian after an Alemannic campaign on the old Roman road. He wrote down his travel impressions in the work "Mosella", which is still the oldest travelogue of a German landscape. What Ausonius described back then as the "wild solitude of the forest" in the Hunsrück is very appealing to today's nature-loving hikers seeking relaxation. On the Ausonius Trail, we follow the traces of Ausonius and the Roman legionaries on ancient, lonely paths and trade routes through green meadows and shady forests. We let our minds wander and simply relax - ideal for stressed city dwellers and hamsters on a wheel.

The largely destroyed castle of the former bailiffs of Hunolstein is the first highlight of the hike. This is followed by wonderful views over the Hunsrück heights and the wildly romantic section of the trail along the Dhron. The absolute highlight of the dream loop is the 800-metre-long path through the Hölzbachklamm gorge. The gurgling and bubbling of the gorge's water as it flows down into the valley provides a wonderful auditory backdrop.

    Der erste Teil der Tour ist typisch Traumschleife, danach gleicht es eher gewöhnlichen Wanderwegen. Die Hölzbach Klamm...wunderschön... aber ist nicht ohne zB für Leute mit Höhenangst, teils superschmaler Pfad mit steilem Hang.

    Besser kann eine Wanderung nicht sein:-)! Es war die schönste unserer Traumschleifenwanderungen in unserem Urlaub im Hunsrück. So viele schöne weiche Waldpfade, perfekte Beschilderung mit vielen km-Angaben, tolle Picknickplätze, immer wieder mega schöne Aussichten, kein Asphalt, kein Schotter, sehr gepflegte Wege. DANKE an alle, die sich um diesen Weg kümmern:-)

    Landschaftlich reizvolle, sehr leichte Tour mit schönen Wald- und Wiesenetappen und einem netten Bachtal. Im Herbst viele Pilze und schöne Farben. Zwischendurch auch mal eine weite Aussicht.

    Startpunkt der Traumschleife ist am Eingangstor der Ruine Baldenau in Morbach. Die Rundtour mit ihren ca 8 km hat einiges zu bieten und ist sehr abwechslungsreich. Gerne könnt ihr euch die Tour hier ansehen 😉 https://youtu.be/RBpPeH13vqM?si=sFgL6MrOskCefdrI

    Sehr schöne Tour vom Hofkaffee aus, da sind genügend kostenlose Parkplätze, geht's in Richtung Klamm. Wunderbare ruhige Natur am Anfang leicht zu Wandern. Die letzten 3 Km wieder zum Ausgangspunkt sind etwas schwerer, weil es geht ganz schön Bergauf. Danach das Herrliche Kaffee mit sehr netten Personal mit Prima leckeren Speisen und Getränke. Diese Tour hat mit recht den verdienten 3. Platz für Deutschlands schönsten Eanderweg. Was nicht so Prickelnd ist mal wieder ein NATO Draht Zaun ,ungünstig für die Waldbewohner und einige Kunststoffdrähte und Plastiktüte oder Folien, vermutlich noch eine alte illegale Müllentsorgung. Ein paar Meter weiter eine Sonnige Wiese mit meinen Lieblingsschmetterling den Schwalbenschwanz und einige Waldbrettfalter hier in dieser Region.

    Wenige Minuten nach dem Start am Bauernhofcafé „Hunolsteiner Hof“ ist die größtenteils zerstörte Burg der ehemaligen Vögte von Hunolstein ein erster Höhepunkt der Wanderung. Nachdem man ein Stück durch den Ort Hunolstein gegangen ist, führt der Weg hinunter ins Dhrontal. Der absolute Höhepunkt der Traumschleife ist der 800 Meter lange, schmale Pfad durch die Hölzbachklamm. Der zu Tal fließende Bach vermittelt plätschernd eine traumhafte Hörkulisse. An der relativ neuen Genuss-Station „Häja Wiesn Schänke“ gibt es sowohl alkoholische (Altersnachweis erforderlich) als auch alkoholfreie Getränke und Snacks, bezahlt wird auf Vertrauensbasis, z. B. bar oder per PayPal. Sitzbänke laden zum Verweilen ein. Der Weg wurde vom Deutschen Wanderinstitut mit 82 Erlebnispunkten bewertet. Weitere Informationen über die Tour gibt es auf https://www.wanderinstitut.de/premiumwege/rheinland-pfalz/hunolsteiner-klammtour/ Unser Ferienhaus https://www.ruffunrunner.de/ sehr empfehlenswert 👍

    サシャ 🤘🏻
    Info: Der Abschnitt durch die Hölzbachklamm ist wirklich schön, aber auch nicht ganz ungefährlich. Insbesondere bei Nässe sollte man hier sehr vorsichtig sein. Aus meiner Sicht passt deshalb auch die Bewertung "Familienfreundlich" nur bedingt. Vielleicht kann man schon in der Tourenbeschreibung auf den Abschnitt hinweisen und vor Ort eine alternative Route ausschildern. Gesehen habe ich zumindest keine alternative Beschilderung. Aber typisch Deutschland: Natürlich existiert ein Hinweis wonach man die Hölzbachklamm nur auf eigene Gefahr begehen kann... Danke für diese Information 👌🏻😝

    Een afwisselende tour met flink wat steile stukjes. Het gedeelte door het hoogveen is heel speciaal. Wel bijna overal lawaai uit de omgeving. Toch zeer de moeite waard.
