Pony trekking

If you fancy exploring the countryside on horseback, Grenzenlos Wanderreiten has plenty to offer in the way of pony trekking. The Ehrenberg Sternritte or star rides, for example, not only include daily forays out into the countryside but also an unforgettable stay at the Ehrenburg for several days.

Leisure activities

A good hike, an exciting geocache, suspense on the local via ferrata or a gentle ride atop a horse are all perfect for a weekend in the great outdoors. There’s something for everyone here: families, children and seniors. Rope bridge: Germany`s longest suspension rope bridge in the middle of the Hunsrück Hills
