Very nice hike in the Bliesgau. The hiking trail is called the Klosterpfadrunde.

Very nice hiking trail walked today in the best, sunny weather.
Unfortunately the farm was closed. There are plenty of benches along the way to soak up the sun and enjoy the view. Great ☺️.

in the Bliesgau: there are also newly signposted circular hikes starting from the Heidenkopf. Today we largely followed the Gräfinthaler Klosterweg. Although it was already cloudy, the view of the Vosges in the morning was fantastic. We left out the loop at Haus Lochfeld, a strange route is suggested here.

Gräfinthal, Haus Lochfeld, Heidenkopf, the second part of the monastery trail. Even if Haus Lochfeld is closed, you can treat yourself to a lemonade here and put the amount due into a small cash box.

Considering that the path was advertised in the media in this way, it is not even mediocre. Badly signposted, too much rough gravel and asphalt. Maybe you should have asked someone who knows about this.
