The Hunsrück

The Ausonius Way

A seven day circular walking tour in the Hunsrück
The Hunsrück is noted for its Roman remains, and Ausonius was a Roman poet who lived at Trier on the Mosel; his best known work is a song in praise of the river. The wine-growing village of Neumagen-Dhron was the summer residence of Emperor Constantine. This is a walk through the heart of the western Hunsrück; your holiday will take you along old Roman roads and past remains of Roman settlements, temples and villas. Elsewhere there are romantic glens leading up from the Mosel, virgin woodland, old watermills, ruined castles and fine views.

The Heart of the Hunsrück - Morbach

The small town of Morbach lies in the centre of the superb hill country of the Western Hunsrück. One of the main overnight points on the new premium long distance path the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, Morbach is an excellent base to experience a couple of days walking this excellent route. In addition there is a network of over 200 miles of footpaths at your disposal, passing through an ever-changing landscape of extensive forests and sleepy glens, where you will find romantic castle ruins and picturesque watermills.

Just to the south of Morbach is the Erbeskopf, the highest peak west of the Rhine, while the Mosel Valley and the romantic wine town of Bernkastel are within easy reach, allowing you to experience a fascinating contrast.

Although the Walking Holidays described here are of six or seven days, we can normally arrange for you to cover just part of a walking tour, or take a shorter single centre holiday, so this area is ideal for a short break of three or four days walking (four or five nights accommodation).
