Description

An ambitious tour with single trails galore - welcome to the trail Eldorado of Bad Bertrich, where the lava rock stretches meters high into the sky and has created a unique basin location.


You start in Bad Bertrich and circle the town on narrow, adventurous paths. Past the Elbesbach waterfall, the Üssbach now accompanies you through the Siebenbachtal valley to Strotzbüsch. After passing the Mater Dolorosa pilgrimage church, you head towards Kennfus. The Erdenbach stream is your faithful companion on this section of the trail. Via the Falkenlay and the Stone Age caves, you reach the Maischquelle spring, where the Kennfus natural refrigerator invites you to take a break with cold refreshments. Afterwards, you can look forward to jetting back to Bad Bertrich on narrow trails.

The tour is characterized by constant ups and downs: the 1000 metres in altitude will make you sweat, but also make your biker's heart beat faster! Rapid descents and pure nature included. The tranquillity of the Üssbach valley will enchant you. In Bad Bertrich, you have the opportunity to take a break and enjoy refreshments in the restaurants.

Highlights:

  • Elven grotto (cheese grotto)
  • Stone Age caves
  • Maischquelle rest area
  • Driesch St. Mary's Church
  • Electoral castle Bad Bertrich
  • Bad Bertrich Landscape Therapy Park
