Loop
This route is a highlight ride for riders and horses who like to walk through water, not only through the countless fords. You pass the Pyrmont Castle and the Pyrmonter Mühle with the three-part Elzbach waterfall. As soon as you are out of the rustic Elzbachtal you have beautiful views of Eltz Castle and then ride back through open terrain with a lot of visibility. The route is well suited for barefoot horses.
Caution: For hikers, this path through the Elzbachtal is hardly feasible with dry feet, as there are rarely any bridges next to the fords. The nearby Way of St. James is not suitable for riders, as it is sometimes not passable by horse.
