Along the wooden walkway there are many small information boards pointing out the flora and fauna that can be found here.

I found the dream loop that leads over a wooden footbridge through the Ehlesbruch more beautiful than expected. There are a few particularly nice places to sit here on the wooden pier.

An interesting building adorns the highest point in the Hunsrück. The view is great.

A beautiful and informative trail through the moor.

Beautiful castle ruins, a great dream loop starts here. But it's still worth a visit.

From 1315 it was built by Archbishop Baldwin of Trier to secure the electorate of Trier. The castle was primarily aimed against the Counts of Sponheim. The counts were rival territorial lords of Trier in this area. In 1332, Balduin received city rights for a settlement near Baldenau from Emperor Ludwig in a collective privilege; in the end, however, such a founding never came about. The castle gave its name to the electoral office of Baldenau, which included fifteen surrounding villages. Two bailiffs, Rulmann von Partenheim and Clas von Nattenheim, have survived in the 15th century. Also in the 15th century, the castle and office were pledged to nobles, an indication of the low importance of the castle at that time. After being damaged several times during the Thirty Years' War, it was repaired as early as 1649, but was finally permanently destroyed in 1689 during the Palatinate War of Succession by French troops under Louis XIV. from 1982 the ruins were secured. In 1981 and 1982, the ruin served as the setting for the first part of Edgar Reitz's Heimat trilogy.

The Dollberg is 695 m above sea level. NN is the highest mountain in Saarland and belongs to one of the prominent mountain ranges in the high forest. These stretch as ridges running from southwest to northeast from the Saar to the Rhine. The ridges consist of quartzite, which in turn has its origin in sandstone. This was finally transformed into quartzite by pressure and high temperatures during the folding of the mountains in the Devonian. Due to its hardness, it is comparatively weather-resistant. As the surrounding, softer rock was eroded, the quartzite deposits were preserved as ridges. A beautiful hiking destination and, as the highest "mountain" in Saarland, of course also a highlight here in the region. https://www.naturpark.org/natur-und-kultur/natur/geologie/geopunkte-devon-permokarbon-nonnweiler-und-zuesch/dollberg
