View of the Saarpolygon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very great view of the Saarpolygon. It's best to make a detour there right away. It's right around the corner and the view is phenomenal.

Today we went hiking in the forest again with the hiking group Ri No. We started at the Hexenwaldhütte Schwalbach. Afterwards we had a barbecue 😄

Almost entirely in the forest—perfect for bright sunshine.
The highlight is the "WaldzeitAllee" (Wald Time Alley).
Drawback: Close to the highway—noise doesn't fit in the forest. 🌻☀️😎

The name says it all on the Traumschleife Waldzeit: dreamy forest passages, wildly romantic paths and shady spots to linger and relax - all this characterizes this premium hiking trail. The hiking experience is rounded off by scenic and cultural-historical highlights along the way, such as forest chapels, observation tower on the Krickelsberg, forest lake or open-air stage.

In short: A lovely long walk through the forest without any major difficulties 😊 A few beautiful views (including a tower), a narrow path here and there and the trail is complete 😎

The little detour into town was made because of a signposted café 😉😇

A very pleasant dream loop that has something to offer every hiking enthusiast! 👍🏻🥾🌲☺️
The peace and quiet during the forest season is only disturbed by people who mistake the forest for a pub or dog owners who are literally being taken for a walk by their four-legged friends... 🙄
Please be extremely careful at the two country road intersections …
