Beautiful, rural area - you almost feel like in the Allgäu here. At the top of the forest there is a bench that invites you to a picnic.

Hexenweg (Witches' Path) in Deilbachtal

Highlight • Trail

We walked through the Witches' Path, I can only recommend including it in your tour otherwise you will miss an absolutely rustic path. Of course better during the growing season!

@Niko's Wanderlust then thanks for the round.
Varied, with great views, single trails and some asphalt.
Absolutely recommendable 🍀

Very nice lap, but sometimes a bit too much asphalt. Unfortunately there is no place to stop for refreshments.

A great loop with a stunning view.
However, the "For advanced" rating should be taken seriously, as some sections are a bit more challenging. If you're not quite as fit, you can bypass them – but you should look for alternative routes early enough. Otherwise, you risk a dead end 🚧.

Gentle hills, dense forests, lush meadows, and again and again small streams seeking their way through the untouched nature. …
