Urlaub im Hunsrück …
… the southernmost part of the Rhenish slate Mountains, situated on the westbank of the Rhine, extending between the Rhine, Mosel, Nahe and Saar, has the lowest population density of Germany.
In the 18th and 19th Century, out of economic necessity, several hundreds of thousand people moved away.
The average 400 – 500 m high hills of the Hunsrück, partially crossed by canyon-like valleys, climaxing in the 816 m high Erbeskopf, the highest mountain of the left bank of the Rhine Slate Mountains.
While the gently sloping landscape is used for agricultural purposes and is rich in small towns, the ridge of the Hunsrück forms of one of Germany’s largest forest areas.
Geologically interesting are the precious stones and slate deposits in the foothills of the Idarwald.
Our Woods and forests belong to the last pure landscapes of Germany, with amazing flora and fauna. In meadows, fields and forests, you can observe rare animals such as red kites, partridges, foxes, mouflons and, with a little luck, wildcats.
The ideal starting point for exploring this unique natural and cultural landscape during a holiday in the Hunsrück!
