A completely different walk than yesterday, but certainly a beautiful one. Voted Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in 2018.
It was less heavy too, but with yesterday's walk still in the legs it didn't always feel that way 😉

Today is the 1st day of my hiking vacation in Hunsrück! I chose the Masdascher Burgherrenweg because the weather was supposed to be very nice today!! And it was, everything was great!! It feels like it's constantly going up and down, but mostly in the forest, so it was manageable!! I met many animals, a toad that seemed to enjoy …

Today we went to Mastershausen (local: Masdasch) to the Burgherrenweg dream loop. Although we have already won an award and received much praise, we were very enthusiastic about how beautiful this path is. 🤩
We started from the grill hut in the direction of Galgenberg, opposite to all other hikes this morning.🥾
So it went through meadows, a beautiful cottage …

Today we explored the Masdascher Burgherrenweg (Castle Lords' Trail) – a fantastic circular hike in the Hunsrück that absolutely thrilled us! The starting point was the barbecue hut in Mastershausen, a charming village in the Rhein-Hunsrück district, part of the Kastellaun collective municipality.

Great varied path. Untouched nature by the creek. Super neat and excellent. Many spacious rest areas, you can always find a place, even if there are many hikers on one day. Everything has been thought of, even a wiper to wipe the benches dry after a rain.
Many thanks and big praise to the helpers for the great care and …

Finally on tour again...
Today a hike with a guide in the Hunsrück. Overcast sky, light rain every now and then but beautiful 🙂
Although the path was voted Germany's most beautiful circular hiking trail a few years ago, we met people for the first time about 200m from the finish... I can really only recommend the tour👍👍👍👣🐾
