Lovely section of the woods especially on a dry Autumn day with the fallen leaves.

Historic Path to the Château Ruins

Highlight • Trail

Here, you still walk on the original surface from back then. You can still see the cross grooves that were cut to prevent the horses from slipping.

Hier oben kann man Vespern, Tische sind vorhanden. Toller Platz auch für Kinder um sich auszutoben.
Leider wird zur Zeit ausgebessert, was auf der eine Seite gut ist, auf der anderen Seite das Naturbild stört

July 28, 2024,Lac de Kruth-Wildenstein mit Burgruine Schlossberg

Great hike around the Kruth Wildenstein reservoir. There are plenty of free parking spaces at the lake, and it's no problem finding a parking space on a Sunday in July when the weather is great. There are many options for a swim break around the lake. Only the restaurants seem to have been a little overwhelmed.
We started our tour …

June 9, 2022,Wanderung um Lac de Kruth

Unfortunately, the weather forecast and the real weather didn't quite match. But there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing - like today.
But no matter, the round was still nice and the detour up to the ruins was worth it.
I might have treated myself to a climbing park if it was dry.
If you want …

October 2, 2021,Schlossruine Wildenstein mit Talsperrenumrundung

Very nice round with many great viewpoints. The dam is currently drained. You should wear very good shoes and be sure-footed. Sometimes it goes over scree fields and very uneven paths. There is a steep climb to the castle ruins. Part of the way is the old access path to the castle. You can still see the wheel marks and …

August 21, 2021,Runde um den Lac de Kruth (Krüt) + Chateau Wildensstein

Small evening round ... to arrive and switch off stress. Unfortunately, my little GPS device failed a little so that the route was mostly recorded as point to point. Somehow I couldn't find the back exit at Wildenstein Castle. At the moment there is construction work there, so it may well be that it was simply not available at the …

Superb hike, lots of different landscapes between the lake, the castle, the waterfalls, some trails that even recall Provence.

September 7, 2021,Château de Wildenstein – Bockloch Wasserfall

The name "Bockloch" alone attracted us to hike this round - and it was worth it. The dam is currently being renovated and a temporary dam has been built in the lake. That allows interesting insights.
Since nothing was open at the lake, we then drove to the “Auberge Grieb” just a few kilometers away. Highly Recommended!
