Super nice little hiking trail for big and small. At every corner you get something new to see. And there are animals everywhere. It doesn't get any better.

May 25, 2024,Wild und Wanderpark – Herberloch Runde von Zwalbach

A very varied hike with lots of great experiences! 😊 There is something to discover everywhere and the water treading shortly before the end of the tour was just right before the last climb. Even though the forestry was working on 1-2 sections of the route, this hiking route is an absolute enrichment for body and soul. ☺️
Surefootedness is …

September 1, 2024,TS Hochwaldpfad🌳☀️🌳 - grün so schön wie weiß

Last Sunday we had planned to walk the Georgi Panoramaweg today.
On our round on Thursday evening, however, we arrived at the Panorama = 🌞🌞🌞 based on the highly reported tours.
Yesterday we then decided to take the shadier Hochwaldpfad in Weißkirchen.
For the dogs who like it, there were actually often opportunities to jump into the cool water along …

The start and finish is at the outdoor swimming pool in Weiskirchen, Im Hänfert.
Weiskirchen is a municipality in the district of Merzig-Wadern (Saarland).

Beautiful round, just suitable for hot days (mainly across the forest and for us a shortened tour of the wilderness trail about 18km).
The path has good signage and information boards. Varied, many bridges, narrow paths …

It's been on my to-do list for ages... today I tackled the Hochwald path.
As expected, it runs almost exclusively through the forest on beautiful paths, which was quite pleasant given today's temperatures. I particularly like the fact that you almost always walk along the babbling stream and cross it a few times.
There is a good place to take …

Oh yes @Sabrina, the high forest path in the snow is wonderful!
Thanks for the idea!

Sometime last year I saw Sabrina and @Sascha's tape of the tour. I liked that one too. And with Sabrina's idea of hiking in the snow, I made a note of it.
Since I'm still free today, I grabbed the opportunity and made the …

Today I followed one of the Saarland "dream loops." It's a very beautiful trail, but unfortunately, especially at higher elevations, you can see that the forest has suffered considerable damage in some places.
