Short Geierlay Loop

The path partly follows the premium hiking trail Geierlay Loop but shortens it. This route briefly goes through the village, then follows a path over 1.8 km to the suspension bridge. A spectacular experience. After crossing the bridge, it loops under the bridge where you can view the bold construction from below once again. Then it descends into the valley to the Mörsdorf stream and the uphill return back to the starting point. The ascent is short and steep. Most of the route runs through forest and is doable even in heat. Types of paths: 40% trail share, 40% gravel forest roads, the rest paved. Orientation: well signposted, but the abundance of signs can sometimes confuse. Inexperienced hikers should bring a map or GPS. Eateries: Bangkok, Gasthaus Pension Wendling, and country inn.
