View of the Nahe River loop at Kammerwoog

Highlight • Viewpoint

Slightly higher observation and resting area with two benches.
Due to lack of vegetation, it is sometimes unpleasantly hot, but this can also be useful for sunbathing.

A small branch path leads to the Krechelsfels, where the edge of the rock is secured with a wooden railing.

Kammerwoog Dam

Highlight • Monument

Even if there is usually nothing to pile up, the wide dam wall is available for flood times and dams the Nahe back to the nature reserve Kammerwoog.
On the west side there is a fish ladder.

Saar-Hunsrück Trail Dream Loop Around the Kama – Nahesteig Entry Point

Highlight • Trail

The "Dream Loop Around the Kama" circular route is definitely not easy. Moderate, with sections that require surefootedness and a head for heights, would be appropriate. The route is interspersed …

March 3, 2025,TS Rund um die Kama, 1. Tour Rosenmontag 🥳

Because of the great weather, I didn't want to see a parade today, but rather enjoy nature. My project of hiking all the dream loops should be continued again.
This TS is short but beautiful and is therefore recommended if you are nearby or, like me, want to do several short TS in one day.

It goes mainly on single trails through the “Kammerwoog and Krechelsfels” nature reserve.
Always within sight of the Nahe, there are many beautiful viewpoints and places to linger.
There are enough benches.
The markings on the path are clear and clear.
The entrance from the hiking car park could be better marked.
(It is located to the right of the …

May 30, 2025,Nr 84 ▪︎ Traumschleife Rund um die Kama (EdelSteinLand)

After completing the "Edelsteinschleiferweg" trail, I drove from Algenrodt/Dreschplatz with one change of trains to Enzweiler/Engweg, Idar-Oberstein, from where I started my second hike of the day, the "Around the Kama" dream loop (No. 84), after a short approach through the Enzweiler district.

Since I was already in the area, I added this little loop!! There were several people out and about, and the restaurant at the start was really busy; the food is supposed to be good there!! This TS is small but nice, although I don't quite believe the stated elevation gain; it seemed to me as if it should be …

On the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, we have hiked portions of dozens of Traumschleifen, but this one is the first full Traumschleife we completed.

February 15, 2024,Rund um die Kama

Great tour with beautiful views of the Nahe. Most of the time there were small paths and even if the tour has little elevation, it always goes up and down.
Really a small, fine group😊

This dream loop is wonderful as an introduction to 2 days of Nahesteig.
Like almost all dream loops that I know, great route and high experience value.
In picture 3 there are no 🐜 on the sponge, but small 🪰. error while looking. But I can only correct it at home on the PC.
