카스텔슈타트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

A great valley for hiking

The old town of Saarburg with the castle, the church, the mill museum and the waterfall is definitely a magnet for visitors, at least in the summer months. Unfortunately, the old town is usually flooded with tourists on the weekends.

A beautiful valley. A dense forest and therefore cool on a hot day.

A beautiful path away from the tourist crowds.

One of the most beautiful dream loops, with a small via ferrata on Altfelsen

Beautiful section of the valley, really recommendable

Directions The hike begins at the parking lot in front of the hermitage. From the parking lot we head towards the old village church and turn right to the Elisensitz viewpoint. Behind the church, the tour leads over a small piece of the cemetery of honor and past the entrance to the hermitage. Continue across the meadow and a path past the Roman theater to reach the forest. A narrow path winds through varied forest passages and after a few meters you reach the first viewing point with a wonderful view of the Saar valley and the small wine-growing town of Serrig. You climb down steep steps, past bizarre rock formations made of sandstone and reach the “Hedgehog Rock” via the “North Gate of the Romans”. The path winds along vertical rock faces down to the “Klausenfels”, where the stone cross of the grave chapel sits enthroned. Mighty rock bastions crisscrossed with crevices and caves line the path. The path now leads in a southwesterly direction to the striking, powerful “Round Tower”. In a constant up and down you reach a junction to the “Altfels”. Through the idyllic Pinschbachtal, the route continues through forest with wonderful views of the steep rock faces of the Kasteler Plateau, over serpentines and a light-flooded spruce forest to the striking old rock massif. You reach the flat summit plateau on thick wire ropes and over carved steps in the rock and are rewarded with a fantastic view over the Saar Valley to the Hunsrück heights. You climb up a ridge to the highest point of the hike. You continue downhill along paths and paths After a few forks you reach the Pinschbach. After crossing the stream you go uphill again towards the sandstone cliffs and you reach the small town of Kastel. You walk through an archway and reach the “Mariengrotte”. Steep steps take you to another refuge. Below it, a path leads past ponds and a narrow path leads steadily up and down past the “Franzenknippchen” and “Felsentor”. A signpost now leads through the “Römertor” which leads to another rest area on a small plateau. From here you return to the familiar path to the “Klause”.

The breathtakingly quiet Steinbachtal is the beginning of the ascent to the Cloef viewpoint: You have to go over (at least) seven bridges climb more than 170 steps You will be in the A .... seven times But once the bright glow comes 🤣
