Path of the Trolls

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Well, that many trolls haven't found their way here.
The various paths (trolls, hunters, poachers) are lovingly designed and increase the hiker's attention.

Hiked the dream loop Countess Loretta today. An entertaining tour, sometimes steep paths and wide paths. Very nice vantage points, and plenty of places to rest. It is recommended.

A very nice dream trail from the paths, beautiful views and many rest stops.
Unfortunately, 70% of the traffic noise from the Nahe valley is always heard and puts the relaxation effect into perspective.
In addition, a tank exercise was taking place on the adjacent military training area and from there the noise penetrated through the forest.
Unfortunately there was …

The journey to the Saar Hunsrück Steig with its dream loops is always worthwhile. Great landscape, great paths and well signposted. 👍 Only the weather was nicer today in de Palz ä bissel .. 🌞

Four-day hiking trip with Uli in the Hunsrück on various dream loops. 1st tour: "Countess Loretta". I really liked this varied tour. Probably because the weather was the best that day. When the sun is shining, there are many beautiful views, numerous beautifully landscaped rest areas and colorful blooming flowers and trees. The paths run across meadows and forest on …

A real dream loop and very varied.

But with 32°C it was very hot today. I was grilled in places 🤣

A historically rich premium hiking trail around Frauenberg and Frauenburg. Along the way, you'll experience fantastic views over the Hunsrück highlands, as well as enchanting valleys and narrow, earthy paths.

This is the rather short and, in my opinion, somewhat emotionless description from Hunsrück tourism.

What a great tour! I finally saw it and hiked it. 😊 Great paths with a castle, an imperial avenue as well as trolls, elves and mermaids. 🤩
