We started in Cochem. Right from the start, the road climbed steeply. Then it descended back into the valley, only to then climb the next mountain again. A real challenge for us flatlanders from the Rhineland. The finish line involved a walk across the Geierlay suspension bridge. Not recommended for those with a fear of heights. We looked for the way back off the road and found it in the forest. The last stretch then led us past the Moselle River again.

Here we are in the Brühlbach Valley. The Brühlbach rises near Argenthal and flows into the Lametbach in Mengerschied.
