Today I continued on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, I walked from Herrstein to Rhaunen.
Two official stages. Due to the heat, I was only wearing a thin t-shirt and took an unbelievable 6 liters of water with me. 🤣
I had left myself the option of only walking to Forellenhof Reinhardsmühle, but since I still

This was a fantastic hike today!
It was 30 degrees, but I had enough water with me. Since it was the Pentecost weekend, I had to skip some stages again, which I will make up for. I skipped a whole 6 stages. 😂
I actually dislike doing this very much and would prefer to always hike the stages in the correct

Today I had a death march 😂
It was off to a bad start from the beginning, the ascent to the hiking trail is very steep, as expected. I went down it yesterday. Once at the top, despite using Komoot, I couldn't find the access to the path at first. Only when I met a hiking couple could I find it.

Ok, this tour was... different. 😂
These ascents were incredibly hard today, even though the altitude meters weren't that high overall. Especially the last, "dark red" ascent in the altitude profile, shortly before Idar-Oberstein, was unbelievably difficult for me. Many sections were very muddy and slippery

Over 30 km today and the hiking trail was amazingly easy. The altitude gain is not that much for 30 km and most ascents and descents are very gentle and long drawn out.
Even the ascent to the highest mountain in Rhineland-Palatinate was barely noticeable...
At the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the

Today the stage from Börfink to Morbach was actually planned, but since it's Sunday, the buses run very inconveniently. That's why I brought forward the stage from Morbach to Kempfeld and will close the "gap" tomorrow. I don't like doing that, but the alternative would have been a 3.5-hour journey.

It was a long time ago, in October, I started my adventure on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig and made it to Reinsfeld.
This morning, I got off the bus in Reinsfeld and set off again.
The weather was a dream, the sun kept appearing and today's "double" stage was over 30 km long. Of course, I had a plan B and would

On day 9, it was a straight shot. 😂
Today's hike took me from Grimburg to Reinsfeld almost without any curves. This leg isn't quite as scenic as the previous ones. Lots of very wide forest roads, and unfortunately, also a lot of clear-cut areas.
Nevertheless, this is nitpicking, especially since the hike

Day 8 on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig! The Grimburg doesn't like me. 😂
Just a few days ago, I did the "killer tour" with over 36 km, and today I managed to get lost near the end. How I managed that with such good signage AND Komoot, I don't know. 😂
It rained today, mostly just drizzle. However, every gust

In contrast to yesterday, this stage was a relaxed stroll. I'm really running out of words; these stages are all fantastic!
The people responsible for the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig deserve a big compliment. The signage so far has been exemplary. In the forests, the trail is often hidden under autumn leaves

I'm slowly beginning to understand why the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig has such a good reputation. All the stages I've hiked so far have been an absolute dream.
However, I'm wondering what was "moderately difficult" about this very demanding stage. This hike is extremely demanding. Several rocks you almost have

Day 5! And it seems I'm learning something. 😄
This "higher, faster, further" sometimes leads to the absurd situation of picking up the pace to cover as many kilometers as possible. It's absurd; it should be about nature, landscapes, experiences... not about speeding up to try to complete two stages every

This tour was an absolute dream! The highlight is definitely the Saar Loop. Especially in autumn, the view is unforgettable. The weather was very windy today. The sounds in the woods were quite special as a result. 😂
Speaking of forests... today, too, they seemed endless. Hiking through them for hours

So today is the official first stage of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig. The weather helped. At times, you follow the Moselsteig Trail; both long-distance trails have the same starting point.
There were roughly three sections. First, forests, forests, more forests... then you reach a kind of plateau with fields

Today I hiked about 21 km from Rhaunen to Sohren. Either I was in the shade more often, or I imagine that the heat was much more bearable today.
As yesterday, today I had high plateaus with fields and patches of forest alternating with each other. The tour today felt somehow different and I only now realize
