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. Further information about the tour can be found at wanderinstitut.de/premiumwege/rheinland-pfalz/hunolsteiner-klammtour
