On the banks of the pond you will find a wooden lounger where you can make yourself comfortable for an idyllic break. Let the beautiful nature work on you and just switch off. :)

March 22, 2026,5-Weiher-Tour - Winterbach Saarland

There were enough parking spaces at the starting point. The tour began through the portal, initially with a loop through the forest, then a stretch of dirt road. For a good while, the hiking trail was shared with the cycle path, which was a bit stressful, as some highly motivated older e-bikers were on the way. That changed later, with …

Today we made Winterbach unsafe.
Winterbach is a district of St. Wendel in Saarland.
Start and finish is the sports field.
A very beautiful hike suitable for everyday use (hardly any meters in altitude), which mainly runs through the forest, past idyllically situated small ponds and towards beautiful views of the Schaumberg.

December 26, 2024,"Tour de Batsch" aka 5 Weiher Tour 🤪😉😅🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

I've walked several times, today was the first time I went against the recommended direction. My favorite forest has since been cut down😭.....
The highlights today were the stamina of the sun ☀️ and the muddy passages that we had to deal with for at least half of the tour💪🏼🥴. There was a little case study on my part and …

August 21, 2022,Das Rätsel der 5-Weiher-Tour

The tour is one of the most beautiful premium trails in the district of WND and is accordingly popular. I've been here a number of times and always thought I'd miscounted the ponds. Today I wanted to know for sure, but the intention remained. If you walk the tour clockwise, you can see (already in the 2nd half) the 1st …

Since I had already gone for a walk with the neighbor this morning, only a short walk remained nearby. Allegedly there was also supposed to be a storm.
Since the whole of Saarland is currently a construction site, the way to Winterbach and back was longer 😏 and the weather remained constant
