Eine Wandertour auf Spurensuche der Osterspaier Geschichte bietet der Langhalsweg. Der Rundwanderweg im Welterbe Oberes Mittelrheintal und im Naturpark Nassau führt durch traumhafte Pfade und abwechslungsreiche Täler zu beeindruckenden Felsklippen. Ruhige Waldabschnitte wechseln mit sagenhaft schönen Aussichten auf das Mittelrheintal vom Bopparder Hamm bis hin zur Marksburg. An verschiedenen Infostationen entlang des Weges gibt es zudem sehenswerte Einblicke in die Vergangenheit der Ortsgemeinde. Dabei zeigt sich die einst vielfältige Nutzung der Gemarkung. Wo heute Forstwirtschaft und Erholung im Vordergrund stehen, gab es früher auch Obst- und Weinbau, Viehhaltung, Steinbrüche und Bergbau. Der Langhals weist uns den Weg, die Landschaft um Osterspai mit ihren Schönheiten und ihrer Geschichte intensiv zu erleben.
