Imposing rock formations rising out of the forest with summit cross. Some parts are easy to climb in dry weather, while others require climbing equipment. In wet weather very slippery (also the ways)!

First mentioned in 1128.

March 20, 2022,Kirner Dolomiten-Kyrburg-Trübenbachtal... Runde von Hennweiler

Found the Kirner Dolomites yesterday while looking for a tour and saved a tour, thought about it this morning and then off we went... good decision ‼️
Very impressive landscape, brilliant views, lonely paths, short sections through Kirn and villages, very varied and therefore a real recommendation 🙂👍👣🐕

Tour with Uli. Great tour that I didn't know before. With the best weather, we went through forest and fields over beautiful forest and meadow paths. Everything is sprouting and blooming, especially the bright yellow fields of rape. The wonderful views were impressive, the Kirner Dolomites, the romantic Trübenbach valley and the castles.

Second hike on a short vacation. Lucky that we happened to be able to dodge the rain.
We didn't know this tour, we really liked it!
Many views that were beautiful due to the current vegetation phase.
We found the creek valley (Trübenbach), the climbing rocks "Kirner Dolomiten" and of course the 3 castles impressive!

Very nice tour, just at the beginning along the water. However, the descent along the Kirner Dolomites was not a problem, yes it is steep, but doable. In the public descriptions it sometimes sounds very dramatic, but I don't think that's the case.

Always a beautiful tour, through cool, green forest, along the water, over fields and meadows that are just in full bloom. The views are magnificent and make the hiker's heart beat faster. Just like the Kirner Dolomites 🤩 a great rock formation that is visited by many climbers.

Today we went straight onto the trail from our holiday apartment. It was quite cool and a cold wind was blowing around our ears.
From Kallenfels, we went down to Kirn on narrow paths. There, across the cemetery laid out in terraces to the Kyrburg. A very imposing fortress. Afterwards, we reached the very rustic Trübenbachtal, which was beautiful. Further …

It's been over 3 years since we did this vitality tour, but today it was that time again. We started at the Kyrburg hiking car park and then made the detour to the castle, which should not be missed. We continued through the beautiful and pleasantly cool Trübenbachtal. After about 4 km the first free area came and the sun …
