📝 Right at the beginning of the Smugglers' Trail, a small highlight awaits: an old customs house, reminiscent of bygone border times. Right next to it, a covered rest area invites you to linger – perfect for your first break or a last sip of coffee before the start.

💡 Tip: Take a moment before you set off – this spot combines history, views, and comfort in a charming way.

Hiking

📝 A simple wooden table, a bench – and in front of it: wide fields, rolling hills, and a view sweeping over the St. Wendel region. A place perfect for a snack with a view. Quiet, spacious, and just the right place to take a deep breath.

💡 Tip: Pack something tasty – your snack tastes twice as good with this view.

Hiking

📝 A large wooden frame surrounded by greenery – and beyond, nothing but expanse. Fields, forests, sky – a true natural panorama. Looking through it, you'll see not only the landscape, but also how beautiful Saarland can be. The perfect spot for a souvenir photo.

💡 Tip: Try putting yourself in the frame – the picture will be better than any selfie filter.
