They also stopped 500m before the end of the gorge because of rain and a sprained foot. As compensation …

May 8, 2026,Saar-Hunsrück-Steig - 22. Etappe (+6km vom Ende der 21. Etappe)🌲🇩🇪

Today I walked the 22nd stage of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig🌲🌳
Since I wasn't exactly sure about the parking situation at the start of the stage at Schmausemühle and the internet indicated very few parking spaces there, I chose the hiking parking lot in Heyweiler. Thus, I also walked the last 6 kilometers of the previous stage.
