Beulich among forests, valleys and village history

Beulich lies on a ridge between the Ehrbach and Baybach valleys. Forests, streams and traces of history give the village its distinctive character: in the Rosker Valley, the Waldforum Roskerbach combines nature and information, while Roman burial mounds and the parish church tell the story of the village. Hiking, cycling and theatre are also among the themes you can plan your trip around.

Waldforum and Quiet Forest

In the Rosker Valley in Beulich, the former forest swimming pool has been transformed into the Roskerbach woodland biotope, the Waldforum. During its restoration, natural stream courses were restored and several information stations added. Covered seating areas, several benches and a small forest stage are also part of the site; the Waldforum is considered a water playground. Nature observation and various opportunities to relax come together here.

The Römergräber Quiet Forest, a naturally grown mixed forest, is located near Beulich. Six Roman burial mounds have been preserved at the entrance and can be visited. Visitors can also join guided tours; check locally before travelling to find out whether they are available. Those interested in archaeological traces will find a different way to explore the area here than along the streams in the Rosker Valley.

Hiking trails and cycling route

The Eckmühle in Beulich's Ehrbach Valley is a popular stop for hikers, right by the Ehrbach Gorge. It is also a destination for day-trippers, families, cyclists and nature lovers. Check the latest opening details before visiting. The Grieshof holiday farm in Beulich also offers guided hikes through nearby gorges; confirm in advance whether they are available during your travel dates.

Cyclists also have a clear point of reference: the Schinderhannes-Untermosel cycle route passes directly by the Grieshof holiday farm. The Kennelbachkreuz, a wayside cross, is also located on this cycling route near Beulich. You can reach Beulich by car from the B 49 via Brodenbach and the L 206, from the B 327, or from the A 61 at Emmelshausen. Parking is available near the entrance to the Quiet Forest and at the sports ground.

If you are looking for accommodation for your stay, use your planned activities as a starting point: the Waldforum, Quiet Forest and Ehrbach Gorge offer different ways to spend your days. When choosing your travel dates, it is worth keeping guided tours and possible places to stop for refreshments in mind, without assuming they will always be available.

Church, dialect and theatre

The Catholic parish church of St. Laurentius and Apollonia is considered a hall church dating from 1748; its Romanesque west tower was raised in 1838/39. In 1853, the church in Beulich received a Stumm organ, built by Friedrich and Ernst Stumm. Historian Ferdinand Pauly believes the parish was founded in the 11th century. A church in Beulich is documented in a resolution dated 18 July 1212.

The Beulicher-Platt project offers audio recordings with translations and information about village traditions. It provides a way to explore local culture through language and traditional customs. The L'UNA THEATER in Beulich offers a repertoire for children and adults. As the programme may change, check the dates to suit your visit.

The wider Rhein-Hunsrück travel region

The wider Rhein-Hunsrück destination extends beyond the individual village. The Rhein-Hunsrück district encompasses large areas of the Hunsrück, part of the Rhenish Slate Mountains, as well as the left-bank section of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. This includes parts of the Hunsrück plateau and quartzite ridges to the south, such as the Soonwald; in the Middle Rhine Valley, the Rhine forms the district's eastern boundary. Parts of the Hunsrück-Mittelrhein collective municipality and the town of Boppard are part of the UNESCO Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage Site, recognised in 2002.

For hiking, the Rhein-Hunsrück district lists numerous routes, including the certified Soonwaldsteig premium hiking trail. Cycle routes along the Rhine and through the Hunsrück also shape the wider travel region. These regional options broaden the picture of Beulich with further landscapes and activities to explore.
