Brief description

The Traumschleife Altlayer Schweiz is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the region. Rugged cliffs, dramatically beautiful views, a romantic passage directly on the water and entertaining information along the way characterize the path. Source: Text information board

Directions

After starting at the Altlay portal, the path initially leads over an old grassy farm road. The eponymous passage follows. A narrow path leads over and through the rocky passages of Altlayer Switzerland. The rocky ridges offer breathtaking views in and over the deeply cut Hitzelbachtal. The bizarre crown and trunk shapes of the oaks on the slate rocks create a special atmosphere. The first part of the following descent requires surefootedness and can be quite slippery in wet weather. The hiking hut in the middle of the descent invites you to take a break before you go downhill in a wide loop into the Hitzelbachtal. In the valley, the path leads along a narrow path directly along the water - this part of the route is romantic and enchanted. On a dirt road it then goes to the Altlayer Bachtal. There is a very short climbing section secured with rope to get to an old forest path. Now the path leads steadily uphill, sometimes as a path, then again as a path through the open deciduous forest. Information boards along the way provide information on cultural history. At the highest point of the route, almost 400 m above sea level, there are again beautiful views. The hike ends with a varied passage, which leads first at the edge of the forest, then over a forest path and finally over a narrow path back to the starting point. The hut offers another good opportunity for a rest. Source: Text information board

The Traumschleife Altlayer Schweiz starts behind the dealership Dambach. It is easy to park at the portal and it guides you through the gate on the right path to take the less strenuous direction (clockwise).

Today I found that the dream loop was extended from 6.8 to 8.5 km. For this, the route was led back to the path above the rock outcrops below and down to the upper reaches of the Hitzelbach, then to follow this in the valley. Very nice!
