A premium hiking trail in northern Saarland. A beautiful spring tour with A🧑, C🧑G🧑, P🧑, H🧒, and 🐕.
The hike leads along historic paths through magnificent forests, secluded gorges, picturesque stream valleys, and over planks through the swampy moorland of the Obertaler Bruch. We repeatedly enjoy picturesque views, whether from the Celtic cult mountain Momberg or from the young Nähe. …

Today, another premium hiking trail in Saarland. Very varied with beautiful viewpoints and many narrow paths.
I can definitely recommend it 😁.

The last time I was on this circuit was 10 years ago. We set off with my comrade from the Alpine crossings from Kirn. Nice forest tour, even if the view wasn't that great today. Apparently the trail has been re-certified. A new hiking portal has been set up in the area of the Valentine's Chapel, and there is also …

Our start/finish point is the church in Oberthal-Güdesweiler.

We hiked the path about 6 years ago and have been forgotten... until today :-)
A very nice hiking trail, well suited for the summer because about 95% of the way runs in the shade or through the forest.

The circular route is very well maintained and also very well signposted.

Today I was out and about in Saarland again. It should be the Rötelsteinpfad. After some initial difficulties (the hiking car park for the path on Google is not correct) and a short search for the path, I was able to start.
The hike led through a variety of paths and slightly wider forest paths and had a few viewpoints …
