April 15, 2022,Dhrontal-Wackentour - Traumschleife Saar-Hunsrück

The fifth dream loop that I ran in the Hunsrück and this tour is simply an experience. On mostly small, fine paths, it goes through varied landscapes, past impressive rock formations, curious onlookers, gurgling streams and grandiose views. The tour is excellently signposted and there are also places to stop for refreshments, in addition to the numerous inviting benches and …

August 7, 2024,Traumschleife Dhrontal-Wackentour

At the end of my van hiking trip, I chose the Traumschleife Dhrontal-Wackentour. It was a bit cumbersome. First I missed the signpost and went along a path that unfortunately became increasingly scrubby and steep. Of course, I then had to go back because I was going completely in the wrong direction 😅 Then everything was fine, except for the …

I was with the family in my old homeland. At the beginning the path went almost exclusively uphill to Horath.. beautiful view from the Moselle valley to the high forest.. interesting for me: the tree that squeezes through the rocks and in the small chapel the obituaries of the soldiers of the region who died in the Second World War …

Even though we're already two nights (and one more hike) away...
This dream loop still has an impact, and I would describe it as one of the most beautiful and eventful tours of the year.
Almost everything came together perfectly, especially the weather and the season, and the intense experience of the broom blossom.
