Lahr bleaching fountain and biotope

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nicely created info point on the dream loop Dünnbachpfad. Here, the Lahr women washed their clothes into the 19th century and brought them out to bleach in the meadow. Nice rest area with great all-round view.

From the rating rather unspectacular. But we ended up so excited!
At the entrance we already found Germany's longest marble run.
A must not only for children.
Challenging single trails, paths along the water, a small rushing waterfall.
Everything kept in good condition, clear signage, a dream loop.
The smallest suspension bridge,
Dwarf cave with Snow White's coffin, someone has …

Today we set off early in the morning towards Zilshausen to walk the "Dünnbachtal-Pfad" dream loop. A path that, according to the description, promises peace, quiet, forest and rocks (see saar-hunsrueck-steig.de/traumschleifen/duennbach-pfad) and it delivers!

The original plan to experience the sunrise live was only half successful, because the cloudy sky didn't reveal much of it. However, this did not detract …

So... The last outstanding dream loop on the Hunsrück 😆
In order to go the next ones, I have to go back to Saarland 😃

I really liked the Dünnbach path. A few nice little highlights with the marble run, the dwarf cave and a few nice vantage points.
It is really nice and quiet. Below you only hear the …

Even though the weather today was anything but optimal, we enjoyed the loop.
Start is at the parking lot at the Grillhütte in Zilshausen, where the Kugelbahn is also located.
We did the possible detour to the Geierlay suspension bridge afterwards as a separate tour.

September 17, 2026,TS Dünnbachpfad

This morning we went to Zilshausen to the barbecue hut. That's the start of the TS Dünnbachpfad!! Well, what can I say, the name Dünnbachweg would fit better!! Hardly any trail, almost only wide paths, partly also on asphalt!! That's not what I imagine a dream loop to be!! The adventure playground doesn't save my opinion either!! Very disappointing for …

Today the sun came out, and we started off in T-shirts again.
The marble run at the start is really great. The large one is 400 meters long, and the marble has to overcome several obstacles. One has to be overcome by pedaling in a go-kart, another in a hamster wheel. Great.
We continued on, often along narrow paths and …
