Mittelalterpfad

The Mittelalterpfad spans 8.4 kilometers through forest paths, stream valleys, and hills, featuring natural monuments like the Jammereiche and Rabenkanzel stone formations.

The trail begins in Herrstein's center with 15th to 18th-century timber houses, passing by the Schinderhannes Tower, castle church, and medieval clock tower.

Near the village of Niederhosenbach along the trail stands a plaque marking the presumed birthplace of Saint Hildegard of Bingen, a medieval abbess.

The path takes approximately three and a half hours to complete, with several resting spots and benches placed strategically along natural ground surfaces.

The route includes sensory benches designed for visitors to experience the landscape through different perspectives while observing the Hunsrück hills.
