ボイレン（ホッホヴァルト）の峡谷・トップ4

Forstelbach川沿いの、のどかで自然のままの谷。狭い道、せせらぎ、そして鬱蒼とした森の区間が、特に静かでオリジナルの雰囲気を醸し出しています。一息つき、楽しみ、リラックスしてハイキングをするのに最適な美しい区間です。

It's also good to run in winter, even in snow.

Beautiful rock formations. Good for photos or to linger.

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.

Starting point

The Forstelbach Valley near Hermeskeil is an idyllic, wooded valley traversed by the Forstelbach stream. The stream originates in Hermeskeil and flows into the Prims River. Numerous small ponds dot the landscape along the water. Particularly noteworthy is the return of the beaver, which has significantly transformed the valley with its dams and lodges. The Hermeskeil Beaver Trail leads hikers through the area, past a modern rest hut and information panels about the animals. The Forstelbach Valley offers a diverse natural experience and is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers.

Unfortunately "empty" in winter but otherwise very good, there is even a seat (with a roof) and a toilet right next to it.

In summer as in winter, a very nice hiking tour!
