Beautiful dream loop👍🥾
The sign at the beginning, which promises no more climbs, shouldn't be taken too seriously 😁

We take the tracks from the Hunsrück tourism website and are happy to adapt them for us - depending on our needs and desires....
This is also the case with this dream loop, which (again typical of Hunsrück) surprised us in a very positive way.

Today I was traveling alone, I really liked this dream loop and I think it deserves a higher experience score when I think of some of the dream loops in Saarland. I came by train and bus, at the Sommerauerstr bus stop. In Gusterath-Tal it also starts directly, there is also the Gasthaus Reh, where I felt very comfortable after …

Dream Loop Romika-Weg

Start/finish: Pluwig sports field

I had read about this tour from someone that it can also be run when the weather is not so good.

I really liked the open-air stage with the western village; it's definitely an …

Today was absolutely perfect snow hiking weather. Despite the sub-zero temperatures, we weren't cold at all. The sun 🌞 kept us warm the whole way.

The path is great to walk even in the snow and we treated ourselves to a warm mead at the viewpoint of the old Romika. 🍵

January 11, 2025,Saar-Hunsrück - Traumschleife Romika Weg

Yesterday we went on the 12 km long Saar-Hunsrück dream loop Romikaweg.
The start was in Pluwig, home of the Karl May Festival. Shortly afterwards I reached the amphitheater, where Winnetou and the Wild West come to life. We followed the stream to Gusterath, where you could see the old Romika factory. Interestingly, my mother worked there 50 years ago. …
