The historic oil mill in Morbach-Schmausemühle is part of a listed mill complex (since 1982) and was restored after its purchase by the municipality in 1997 – including a reconstructed waterwheel based on plans from 1923. It is also the starting point of the "Oil Mill Tour" dream trail.

The start of the hiking trail is easy to find. The signage is very good.

Entry at the castle

The natural Kneipp pool is very cool.

Entrance directly at the castle ruins

Start directly at the castle ruins. Free parking.

From here, you have a beautiful view of the Walholz Church. A window provides a great photo opportunity. The Walholz Church: In a meadow valley between Hunolstein and Weiperath stands a lonely church with an 800-year history: the Walholz Church. For over eight centuries, it served the residents of the surrounding villages for worship purposes. Dating from around 1130–1150, the Walholz Church was probably built as a small wooden church. In the 13th century, this was replaced by a stone church. The current building was built in 1760 as a conversion and extension of an older church that had become dilapidated and too small for the growing population. When the new church in Hunolstein was declared a parish church in 1909, the Walholz Church served only as a cemetery chapel until 1957. Today, the Walholz Chapel is often used for church weddings. In addition, cultural events also take place. More information at www.morbach.de/walholzkirche

This tour starts at the Hunolsteiner Hof farm café, where it's worth stopping for a bite to eat at the end of the tour. In good weather, you can also sit outside. At the beginning of the tour, as is usual with the Saar-Hunsrück Dream Loops, is the entrance gate. A few minutes after starting at the "Hunolsteiner Hof" farm café, the largely destroyed castle of the former governors of Hunolstein is the first highlight of the hike. After walking a short distance through the town of Hunolstein, the trail descends into the Dhron Valley. The absolute highlight of the Dream Loop is the 800-meter-long, narrow path through the Hölzbach Gorge. The babbling stream flowing down the valley creates a dreamy audible backdrop. The relatively new "Häja Wiesn Schänke" refreshment station offers both alcoholic (proof of age required) and non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Payment is based on trust, e.g., a credit card. Payment can be made in cash or via PayPal. Benches invite you to linger. The trail has been rated 82 points by the German Hiking Institute.
