Directions

From Gornhausen the route takes you uphill in the direction of Haardtkopf. Halfway up, at Kaisergarten, a panoramic view far into the Eifel awaits you. The path then leads leisurely up the Hunsrückhöhe to the Roman road, which was part of the historic Roman road between the Roman settlement of Belginum and the Moselle fort of Neumagen. Shortly before the Weinplatz, the trail leads you down into the forest along the Kieselbornbach stream and past the ruins of the Staudtenmühle mill. You will reach the small village Hirzlei and the Frohnbach valley. Here you walk slightly uphill again along the Frohnbach stream to the Klaramühle settlement, a café. From there, the route leads you steadily uphill along the Herrenbach and the Barbelley rock, and then back to Gornhausen.
