Circular
This route is a highlight ride for riders and horses who like to go through water, and not just because of the countless fords. You pass Pyrmont Castle and the Pyrmont Mill with the three-part Elzbach waterfall. As soon as you leave the rustic Elzbach valley, you have beautiful views of Eltz Castle and then ride back through open terrain with plenty of views. The route is suitable for barehoof horses.
Caution: For hikers, this route through the Elzbachtal valley is hardly feasible on dry foot, as there are only a few bridges next to the fords. For riders, the nearby Way of St James is not suitable as it is partly impassable on horseback.
