Geierlay cycle route

The bike route starts at the old station in Kastellaun. From Kastellaun, we take the Schinderhannes cycle path, which gently ascends through the new development area towards Bell station. Here we cross the Hunsrückhöhenstraße (B 327) and continue towards Bell. The route continues through the villages of Buch and Mörz. In Mörz, we can admire the pilgrimage church of Mariä Himmelfahrt. From Mörz, we cycle on towards Mörsdorf. Here we approach the highest point of the route, the Geierlay suspension bridge. As soon as we reach the Geierlay bridge, the bicycle becomes a "push object" because it is forbidden to ride on this 85 cm narrow and 360 m long bridge. Once you have crossed the bridge, you can get back in the saddle. After a short ride, we reach the village of Sosberg. Then we ride down serpentines into the valley. Here a rest area invites you to take a break, because after that it goes uphill again. The path leads past Mastershausen towards the Galgenturm. It was built as a replica of a watchtower on the Roman Limes and reminds of the old Roman road that ran nearby. It is recommended to climb the Galgenturm because on clear days it offers a magnificent view over the Hunsrück as far as the Eifel and the Siebengebirge. The tour then takes us to Leideneck and further via Völkenroth and Rothenbergerhof back to Kastellaun. We ride over the festival site of the Beller Market (big market day always on the penultimate Wednesday in July) before returning to Kastellaun via Bell station.
