The Hölzbach Gorge is the absolute highlight and namesake of the Hunolsteiner Gorge Tour, a premium circular hiking trail with exceptional diversity in the Hunsrück region. This impressive section encompasses approximately 800 meters of untouched nature and lies in the final third of the hike, just before the Hölzbach flows into the Dhron River. Hikers plunge into a deeply cut, gorge-like ravine, crossing which is a wildly romantic experience: the gurgling and bubbling water of the stream creates a cool, almost magical soundscape. The stream winds its way between slate cliffs and large boulders, forming rapids and small waterfalls, and creating a humid habitat for ferns and mosses. The narrow path through the gorge requires surefootedness and sturdy footwear. Ropes are provided in some challenging sections to assist in safely mastering the ascent. The passage through the Hölzbach Gorge is the most intense and wildest part of the tour and leaves all visitors with a lasting impression of the primal power of the Hunsrück nature.
