Baybach Valley

Highlight (Segment) • River

A wild valley, romantic and at the same time physically challenging. Sometimes you have to climb a bit, but you can always cool your feet in the stream water. Great fun for adventurous children too.

Baybach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful waterfall in the Babachtal is as much a part of it as it is with ropes secured paths over rocks.

Crossing this gorge is a special nature experience. Steep climbs, steep descents, mighty rock formations, old tunnels, bat caves, waterfalls and breathtaking views of untouched nature in the wild and romantic Baybachtal.
In some steep places, safety ropes help to master the path.
This is a very beautiful dream loop of the Saar-Hunsrück Climb.

A grandiose tour that makes every hiker's heart beat faster. 🤗
A clear recommendation, especially in the summer heat!

Unfortunately, since my cell phone took a little refreshment in the Baybach (🙈), which led to the battery being drained quite quickly afterwards, the recording could not be finished properly.
So I imported the original tour and added my photos.

Always nice, in the Baybachtal 🥰 and if you start early enough, you won't meet anyone on the way. Really relaxing.

For me, one of the most beautiful dream loops ever, offering everything a hiker's heart desires and captivating me even on the second visit. 🤗
The Baybachklamm in the Hunsrück is one of the best-known and most spectacular gorge landscapes in Germany.
The path leads directly along the rushing Baybach stream, past moss-covered slate formations and jungle-like nature. On the …

This is what the tour actually looks like. It remains a great, varied tour with a recommended break at the Schmausemühle. The smoked fish and the herb soup with smoked trout taste great.

Wow, the area is fantastic 😍 another great dream loop: very varied in a Baybach valley left to nature. Paths, small climbing passages, gorges, heights and meadows... everything is included. We started the tour at the Schmausermühle, the approach is very narrow and steep. I therefore recommend driving to the Heyweiler car park. Have fun hiking

The hike through the Baybachklamm was the highlight of our 3-day trip to the Hunsrück and deserves to be called a dream loop.
An extremely varied tour with various highlights and not to forget this idyll that is practically continuous along the stream. I hope the pictures can only reflect some of our impressions.
We can recommend the hike without …

Today I went to one of my favorite dream loops in the Baybachtal again. Simply a great round that is also quite interesting for young hikers 🙃

Apart from the endless number of little mosquitoes that were constantly buzzing around my head, there is really nothing negative to report. You are almost exclusively on narrow paths, through the beautiful slate …
