Gss

Sodele .... we were out under a different "label", instead of Saar-Hunsrück with the Traumschleifen, here Saar-Obermosel.



An old saying of my father comes to mind:

"Other mothers have beautiful daughters too"



And what "mother" Mosel has created here with her detour for the hiker is not only incredibly beautiful

OK - the title already reveals that not everything went "smoothly" on this dream loop....



Last spring, we walked the dream loops of Saarland from Saarburg and completely "missed" this round...

So we made another detour to Saarburg and unfortunately failed to check the touristic site, only to find out today

No... today I don't want to quote the Saar-Hunsrück tourism about this dream loop, whose two sentences do not do justice to this immensely beautiful round.



But let's start with the name...

who, like us, has little or no connection to church music and organ building, and also no local connection, the name

And again, a section of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig has become "hiking history" for us and our "endpoint" from 2023 on the Rhaunen to Soren stage

has (finally) found its continuation....



Although the sun didn't play a role today, it didn't really diminish our hiking pleasure

Welcome to the Valley of Millennia:

On partly narrow paths and meadow trails, the very varied tour, often accompanied by the Hahnenbach stream, leads through forests, meadows, and open, spacious areas. In between are cultural highlights: a fossil museum, the Herrenberg visitor mine, the reconstructed

Last spring we were already in Traumschleifen mode and had already significantly reduced the total map of still-to-be-hiked loops, and "actually" the last "middle section" of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig should also have been completed to mark the "official" 410 km as successfully completed.

Tja, and then

The hike starts from the historic village center into the varied landscape of the Edelsteinregion (Gemstone Region) around Herrstein. Gentle ascents and descents, dreamy paths and stream valleys, as well as spectacular views over the Hunsrück. The natural monuments "Jammereiche" and "Rabenkanzel", as

Being in the front of the Hunsrück means being very close to the Rhine and also to the Moselle, and at the same time Emmelshausen is also something like the "homeland" of various Traumschleifen with a connection to the Baybachtal and the Ehrbachtal.

And so it has become a cherished habit to walk from

"Right at the forefront of Hunsrück" - also in Emmelshausen (their slogan) we landed for the Easter holidays and thus in one of our "homes". We like this place and love the Hunsrück anyway ... Our plan is to soon be able to build on the fantastic spring of 2025, as there are still some (!!) dream loops

After yesterday's "foul weather", we had hoped for a bit more sun... Well, it did dare to "peek" out now and then, just before and after the showers. But the rocks in the forest didn't care anyway, and we also thoroughly enjoyed our hike on the trails and rock formations of the Hauensteiner Schusterpfad
