Baybachklamm Waterfall

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

In some places the Baybach's notch valley is only very narrowly cut through the slate rocks, so that the path following the stream has to overcome some rocky passages and is secured there with ropes.

Climbing section in the Baybach Gorge

Highlight • Climb

Nice dream loop with individual short climbing passages.
Wire ropes are available to help where you have to "climb" a bit. Not a via ferrata in the sense that you need via ferrata equipment!

February 25, 2024,Saar-Hunsrück Traumschleifen "Rabenlay & Baybachklamm" 🌟

MOVEMENT helps! 2024
After I enjoyed it so much in Baybachtal yesterday, I spontaneously went on a second day tour here today.
Not like the brave little tailor, seven in one go, but at least two dream bows. 🤩
Rabenlay and Baybachklamm could be wonderfully combined.
I started in Gondershausen with the Rabenlay.
Here you cross the Besembennerkreisel, which points …

Baybachklamm circular hiking trail with an extension to the viewpoints around Rabenlay. The section along the Mühlenbach is not a designated hiking trail and is somewhat adventurous (the path on the slope is not always visible, later a few fallen trees have to be climbed over at one point).

October 6, 2023,Traumschleife Baybachklamm erweitert +Zusammenfluß Mühlenbach/Baybach + Ausblick Rabenley

I extended the original Baybachklamm dream loop a little further along the stream to the Rabenley viewpoint, along the section of the Rabenley dream loop. A circular route from Rabenley Lookout is not possible because the path no longer exists (I tried it today at the beginning of October 2023).
Very nice cooling shade loop with some nice views and …

Today I switched to the wrong side of the Moselle. Round with a lot of path part. And just the way I like it: hilly, bumpy & muddy. Not so many highlights along the route, but almost always with water and rock accompaniment. Compliments to the copywriters of the information boards. Very nicely written. Small shortcoming on the round. In …
