The quite new plank path through the marshy floodplain of the Herchenbach (also called Edenbruch) is part of the "Viaduktschleife" hiking trail, which turns here.
On the northern side there is a rest bench in the forest.

July 25, 2021,SHS - Von Morbach zum Hunsrückhaus
The stage went on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig from Morbach to the Hunsrückhaus on the Erbeskopf. The highlights are undoubtedly the Hunsrück Railway Viaduct at Hoxel and the plank paths through the moorland at Ortelsbruch near Morbach. The entrance at the parking lot in Ortelsbruch was not easy to find because there are no traffic signs in the village.

Today we're going up the highest mountain in Rhineland-Palatinate 😍 Although it's not particularly difficult to climb at 800m 😉 But hey, it's still cool. And maybe one day I'll be able to reach the highest peaks of all federal states 😅
