The Hoxeler Viaduct (also known as "Ennisch Breck") is a truly impressive relic of the Hunsrückquerbahn railway: 8 stone arches, approximately 160 m long and around 42 m high – a perfect photo spot overlooking the Herchenbach valley. 📸 The best views can be found on the "viaduct loop" or along the 10th stage of the Saar-Hunsrück Trail (Erbeskopf → Morbach).

Would you like to explore the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park? Then it's worth starting by visiting the National Park exhibition at the Erbeskopf National Park Gate in the Hunsrückhaus.

In this modern, interactive exhibition, you'll embark on an exciting journey into the mysterious world of the wild forest. You'll gain insights into the most important themes of this young national park – from ancient beech forests to living deadwood and mystical moors to the diverse natural connections and fascinating landscapes. The exhibition will draw your attention to the national park's small and large treasures and is guaranteed to awaken your desire to explore nature. On the tours offered, you'll go with the ranger into the natural forest, to typical hillside moors, old charcoal burning sites, or to impressive viewpoints such as the Erbeskopf, the highest point in Rhineland-Palatinate. After your trip, you can stop off at a National Park partner establishment and enjoy regional Hunsrück specialties.
