July 11, 2022,SHS-7-8.1-Grimburger Hof-Hermeskeil

Exactly one week ago we were on the Wadrilltal Tafeltour and made a detour to Grimburg...

And this is exactly where our "project" Saar-Hunsrück-Steig ended in 2019 from Perl (for the time being) at kilometer 90...

This was inspiration and motivation to finally continue and so we decided to add a few more kilometers of SHS instead of collecting more …

August 2, 2021,Hermeskeil - Burg Grimburg

Today the horse bridled from behind and walked backwards. My personal weather lady predicted showers for 10, 11 and 12 a.m. today. That's how it was! Thank goodness not all the time, we were lucky🍀 ... and in the end we ended up where we (more or less) left off yesterday and started the "Ruwerroute" last year.

August 18, 2025,Von Grimburg nach Hermeskeil Saar-Hunsrück-Steig 🇩🇪

After a good rest and a delicious meal at the Grimburgerhof, we headed straight up to Grimburg Castle this morning. It was impressive to see how the castle has been restored and partially rebuilt. Unfortunately, it has a dark past; poor wise women (so-called witches) were tortured here and forced to confess their sins.

June 6, 2022,Saar-Hunsrück-Steig Tag 4 - Reidelbach nach Hermeskeil

By transfer we went back to the destination from yesterday. We still had a short stretch of stage 6 to go from Reidelbach to Grimburgerhof. Until then it was again a very nice passage through beautiful forest. We passed the Hochwaldalm - the only real alp of its kind in Saarland. A bit of local history, because from 1955 until …
