      Short description - Traumschleife Heimat

      An eventful hiking trail that opens up the charming lower Simmerbachtal and is connected in the middle with the Soonwaldsteig. On the Soonwald ridge around the Koppenstein, expressive rock formations and unforgettable views over the Hunsrück plateaus determine the character of the path. Two former castles (Gemünden Castle / Koppenstein Castle ruins) and the film theme HEIMAT determine this hike. Highlights: The Koppenstein observation tower, the HEIMAT filming location Gehlweiler, the town of Gemünden with its castle and historic town center as well as the wonderful steep passage from the Koppenstein down into the Simmerbachtal. You should have a certain basic level of fitness, since from the starting point in Gemünden to the Koppenstein ruins you have to climb about 300 meters in altitude. But you will be rewarded with a wonderful 360 degree panoramic view over the Hunsrück plateaus. The descent through an imposing block heap field below the Koppenstein to the lookout pulpit conveys an alpine character. Source: Text information board
