Very beautiful nature trail at the Nahequelle. At the beginning there is a zoo and a very nice playground. The trail mostly goes along beautiful forest paths, past small wooden huts and teepees made from branches.

It is a family-friendly group with a lot of variety for children. In addition to the highlight of the Nahe source, you also have a beautiful view of the surrounding area. If you want to hike more, you can combine this tour with a tour of the Oberthaler Moor: komoot.de/tour/461181362

We actually wanted to finally add another 🎀 to our collection. The tour was listed in the Dream Loops on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig website. However, there was nothing to indicate this on site. Later, we looked at the printed brochure at home and lo and behold - no Dream Loop. Strange 🤔
