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.
