Tips from the Community

June 26, 2026, View From Geierlay Suspension Bridge

Walking 360 meters floating above the valley is simply a special experience. The view is fantastic and the slight swaying of the bridge ensures that you definitely notice where you are.

Breathtaking, and a must-see. Unfortunately a bit out of the way, but definitely worth the trip! Worth mentioning: There's a toilet trailer at Annette Bridge!

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.
