RouteXpert Review This varied tour is about the Hunsrück. The start and end points are close to Hotel de Dampfmuhle in Enkirch on the Moselle.
This route gets 4 stars from me, because you experience or experience something new all day long. One time you drive through the woods, then you drive through agricultural land. Sometimes you drive faster on through roads and sometimes you drive slower on countless bends via narrow mountain paths. And if the latter does not yet offer enough adrenaline, you can still be challenged by the height along the way ... on two legs, on the Nahe Skywalk and the Geierlay suspension bridge!
Finally, this route offers enough technically accessible and yet challenging parts for people who are riding on motorbikes abroad for the first time on winding roads, but also remain interesting enough for the more experienced fellow riders in the group.
From the hotel you immediately dive into the Hunsrück. Immediately you have to loosen the hips on a winding road, up the mountain, towards Raversbeuren. Beautiful forest roads are occasionally briefly interrupted by sleeping villages. Fortunately not too much so that you can continue to ride nicely in your rhythm. However, it is striking that they are all sleeping villages: along the route you will find few restaurants or cafes where you can take a break. For that reason, I have indicated a number of places in this route that are generally always open for lunch or other break.
After approximately an hour's drive you will pass the Burgschanke. This is a small hidden cafe where you can take a break before you enter the Frauenberg. If you're on the road with only ladies, then this is a great time to take pictures with the club riders at the village sign. You can then take the best photos just before you leave the village. There is ample space for the motorbikes to park and take photos in a quiet / safe way.
Via narrow winding roads you then drive past Idar-Oberstein to finally arrive in Kirn. Here you have, on top of the mountain, Restaurant and Whiskey-Museum Kyrburg. Make a reservation in advance if you want to visit the impressive whiskey museum. If you want to eat or drink something here, you can easily find a place in the restaurant. Preferably on the terrace, so that you have a wide view over the valley where the river Nahe flows below. Don't drink (whiskey) courage here: the Nahe Skywalk and Geierlay suspension bridge further along the route are very stable. But definitely worth a visit.
The Nahe Skywalk was opened a few years ago and hangs about 100 meters above the Nahe River. From here you can admire the valley from a great height. Note: you can only park the motorcycle at the start of the village. You have to walk the last 300 meters yourself. Also here is a restaurant with a terrace where you can have lunch.
After this adrenaline rush you can cool off and get some fresh air on a long forest road between Winterbach and Tiefenbach. This road also offers opportunities to take action photos of the other motorcyclists in your group, or possibly photos of deer that are in the forest. Also pay attention on the road!
On the last part of the route you will pass through Morsdorf. If you want to visit the Geierlay suspension bridge, you can park your motorcycle here for a fee. Normally you can put your helmet on the guard, so that you can walk the 1000 meters to the suspension bridge without lugging your things. It is a short walk, but definitely worth it. It is a long and high suspension bridge over one of the forested valleys in the region. And there are lovely benches to rest and relax ... from the walk or the height.
Of course, before you return to the hotel, you will get a number of wonderful hairpin bends that will take you down to the Moselle. And you can make a final stop in Zell am Mosel (eg at Cafe am Bahnhof) and enjoy a terrace along the Moselle.
Just before you leave Zell am Mosel, you have one last gas station before you return to the hotel.

It is the ninth largest and sixth most populous of the sixteen states. Mainz is the capital and largest city. Other cities are Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Koblenz, Trier, Kaiserslautern and Worms. It is bordered by North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse and by the countries France, Luxembourg and Belgium.
Rhineland-Palatinate was established in 1946 after World War II, from parts of the former states of Prussia (part of its Rhineland province), Hesse and Bavaria (its former outlying Palatinate kreis or district), by the French military administration in Allied-occupied Germany. Rhineland-Palatinate became part of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 and shared the country's only border with the Saar Protectorate until the latter was returned to German control in 1957. Rhineland-Palatinate's natural and cultural heritage includes the extensive Palatinate winegrowing region, picturesque landscapes, and many castles and palaces.

Route Collections in this region Top 5 Car and Motorcycle Routes in the Eifel
The Eifel is the eastern part of the medium plateau Eifel-Ardennes. It is located north of the Moselle and west of the Rhine. The largest part is in Germany, a small part is in Belgium, in the East Cantons. The German part of Eifel is located in the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. The highest point is the Hohe Acht with 747 meters.
Several chains can be distinguished in the Eifel:
The northernmost part is called the Nordeifel, which in Belgium connects to the High Fens;
To the east of this is the Ahrgebirge, this part is located north of the Ahr in the Ahrweiler district;
South of the Ahr is the Hohe Eifel (or Hocheifel), of which the Hohe Acht (747 m) is the highest point, and also the highest point in the entire Eifel region;
To the west, near the Belgian border, the hills are known as Schneifel, part of the wider Snow Eifel area with peaks reaching up to 698 metres;
South and east of the Hohe Eifel is the Volcano-Eifel, a volcanic area with many crater lakes (Maare).
The southern part of the Eifel is less high. The area is bisected by streams and rivers running southwards. These streams flow into the Moselle. The largest of these rivers is the Kyll; the hills around this river are known as the Kyllwald;
In the south, the Eifel ends in the Voreifel.
In the north of the Eifel there are some large reservoirs. The largest of these is the reservoir in the Roer that was created by the construction of the Roerdal dam.
The Nürburgring is also located in the Eifel, a well-known car circuit for Formula 1 races, among other things. Since 2004, part of the north of the Eifel has become the Eifel National Park. This National Park falls entirely within the German-Belgian nature park High Fens-Eifel. Another part of the Eifel falls within the South Eifel Nature Park.
Well-known throughout the Netherlands and Belgium by car and motorcyclists, so reason enough for the MyRoute app RouteXpert to compile a Top 5 of Car and Motorbike routes for you.
All routes in this collection have been checked and made equal for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation by a MyRoute-app RouteXpert.
