マルボーンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

From this spot you can see the sunset in the valley very well.

On the Trail of the Nibelungs At the foot of the Erbeskopf massif, deep in the valley of the Kleine Dhron, lies the picturesque village of Dhronecken. The predecessor of its castle ruins was once the residence of Hagen von Tronege, referred to in the Nibelungenlied as "Tronjer." Hagen's comrade-in-arms, Hunold, a cupbearer and chamberlain at the Nibelungen court in Worms, came from the nearby rocky nest of Hunolstein. Both heroes were devoted to Queen Brunhild. When she was insulted by Krimhild, Siegfried's wife, Hagen plotted to murder the hero in revenge. During a hunting trip in the Hochwald forest, as Siegfried was refreshing himself at a cool Hochwald spring, he stabbed him between the shoulders with a spear. Since then, this spring has been called the "Seiwertsbure" (Siegfried's Spring). Source: Information board near the spring

This camp, hidden in the forest, consists of two wooden platforms, each for two smaller tents or one slightly larger tent with a maximum of four people, and a separate dry toilet in a small wooden cabin. The platforms feature a number of anchor points, the spacing of which was rather unsuitable for our (not self-supporting) tents. However, with extension cords, setting up the tents worked reasonably well. A table is integrated into the platform; the planks of the platform serve as "benches," with the legs dangling down. Unfortunately, there are no poles or attachment points for hammocks, as I've seen with other platform solutions. It's also important to note that a strict fire ban is in place here, which is independent of higher forest fire warning levels and also prohibits the use of stoves.

Thiergarten is a district of the municipality of Malborn in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district of Rhineland-Palatinate. It lies in a valley of the Prims River at an elevation of 580 m above sea level. Politically, Thiergarten belongs to the Thalfang am Erbeskopf collective municipality. The village is represented by a local council and a mayor. Thiergarten was built on the site of the former Wüstenbrühl Monastery, which was first mentioned in the property register of the Archbishopric of Trier around 1200. Today, the village offers various facilities for young and old, including a multi-generational community center, a playground, a community center, and a barbecue hut in the recreational area at the edge of the forest.

Parking lot at the chapel with bench and trash can

We filled up the water there

beautifully situated in a valley, a detour from the main cycle paths is worth it 👍

Who would have thought that the Nibelungs would have made it to the Hunsrück. The short detour to the Siegfried spring is worthwhile and is also good for city bikes.
