Baybach Valley

Highlight (Segment) • River

A wild valley, romantic and at the same time physically challenging. Sometimes you have to climb a bit, but you can always cool your feet in the stream water. Great fun for adventurous children too.

Baybach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful waterfall in the Babachtal is as much a part of it as it is with ropes secured paths over rocks.

Very nice circular route in a great area, about 10.5 km long.
There are also a few rope-guided climbing inserts 😅, it's really fun 🤩!
Nice rest and refreshment opportunities such as the Schmausemühle round off the tour!
Class ... 👍😎

Today we had another family tour for a long time, where we took advantage of the great weather again. We ended up in the Hunsrück early in the morning. There we hiked the Saar-Hunsrücksteig through the Baybachklamm. It was a great but challenging tour. You shouldn't plan the tour later in the year, as it was already slippery in some …

Crossing this gorge is a special nature experience. Steep climbs, steep descents, mighty rock formations, old tunnels, bat caves, waterfalls and breathtaking views of untouched nature in the wild and romantic Baybachtal.
In some steep places, safety ropes help to master the path.
This is a very beautiful dream loop of the Saar-Hunsrück Climb.

A grandiose tour that makes every hiker's heart beat faster. 🤗
A clear recommendation, especially in the summer heat!

Unfortunately, since my cell phone took a little refreshment in the Baybach (🙈), which led to the battery being drained quite quickly afterwards, the recording could not be finished properly.
So I imported the original tour and added my photos.

Always nice, in the Baybachtal 🥰 and if you start early enough, you won't meet anyone on the way. Really relaxing.

For me, one of the most beautiful dream loops ever, offering everything a hiker's heart desires and captivating me even on the second visit. 🤗
The Baybachklamm in the Hunsrück is one of the best-known and most spectacular gorge landscapes in Germany.
The path leads directly along the rushing Baybach stream, past moss-covered slate formations and jungle-like nature. On the …

This is what the tour actually looks like. It remains a great, varied tour with a recommended break at the Schmausemühle. The smoked fish and the herb soup with smoked trout taste great.

Wow, the area is fantastic 😍 another great dream loop: very varied in a Baybach valley left to nature. Paths, small climbing passages, gorges, heights and meadows... everything is included. We started the tour at the Schmausermühle, the approach is very narrow and steep. I therefore recommend driving to the Heyweiler car park. Have fun hiking
