Monbachtal – hiking trail

6 km

Forest/ canyon

Leashed dogs allowed

Before heading back to the Netherlands we decided to hike one last beautiful trail. We parked our car at the erfrischungsstelle at the start of the trail. When you come back you can reward yourself with a cold drink and a treat here. 

Hike to Ruhebänkle

The trail started off magically. Following the river, next to the canyons walls we hiked deeper and deeper in the forest. We had to cross the river several times and had to climb rocks to follow the path. Both Oliver and Aylin were enjoying themselves. The Monbachtal was so pretty and green. We saw waterfalls and salamanders, had to climb and made sure our feet stayed dry.

The original hike is 10-14km, we cut is short half way. On our way back we took the forest trail, which wasn’t as stunning as the first 3-4km, but it let us back to our car right in time to get home.
