Today we walked the dream loop Via Molarum, sometimes with and sometimes against the ice-cold Hunsrück wind. The dream loop tells hikers interesting facts about the work of the mills and the "Roman past" of the region.

Initially quite unspectacular, the route surprised us as it continued with numerous fantastically beautiful sections and paths, varied, uphill and downhill.

To be honest, I didn't expect too much from the dream loop "Via molarum" and my expectations were fully met in the first 6 km. Boring meadow paths drive you from place to place and you wish you were a jogger so that it would at least pass more quickly 🙄 A prime example of the extensive meadow paths that …

It's been a long time since we hiked a dream loop.
We've now done 68 of the 114 that we've done.
Unfortunately, some parts are very overgrown.
The beech and spruce forest passages were interesting, as were the colorful summer flowers and a small mountain passage.
Otherwise it was kind of boring and the description: lots of places to stop …

Today's dream loop, Via Molarum (a view of mills, so to speak), took us from Horbruch to Wahlenau and back via Krummenau. Outside of the forest, we always had a view of the Idarkopf.🤩

The route itself begins, as @Christitan so beautifully described, along typical Hunsrück meadow paths, where a cold wind blew against us today.🌬️

Wonderful hiking trail at the top of the Hunsrück.
The area is beautifully secluded and apart from me, no one is out and about today.
Except for a few animals 🦓 and they are relaxed 😊
