Buch is located on the northern edge of the Hunsrück and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape. The area is known for its numerous hiking and cycling trails. Here you can go on a discovery tour and enjoy breathtaking views. Autumn offers a particularly beautiful backdrop with its colourful leaves.

One of the most popular sights in Buch is Simmern Castle. The castle was built in the 17th century and today houses a museum about the history of the town of Simmern.

Culture enthusiasts should not miss a visit to the Ravengiersburg monastery. It dates back to the 12th century and was once one of the most important monasteries in Germany.

For gourmets, there are many culinary specialities to try - from the famous Hunsrück spit-roast to the delicious Riesling wine from the nearby vineyards.

If it rains, you can visit the indoor adventure museum "Rhein-Schiefer-Turm" or spend a relaxing day at the thermal baths in Bad Sobernheim.

The most beautiful time in Buch is the summer months from June to August, when you can enjoy nature outside. Visit the Soonwaldsteig, one of the most beautiful hiking routes in Germany, or take a trip to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport.

Buch in the Rhine-Hunsrück district is definitely worth a trip! With its breathtaking landscapes, cultural highlights and culinary delights, there is something for everyone to discover here. We hope this travel guide helps you with your planning and wish you an unforgettable time in Buch!

    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 😉
