Tips from the Community
In view of the memorial (war memorial) found here, I would like to quote a short excerpt from the speech given by the then Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker (1920 to 2015). He gave it on May 8, 1985, at a commemoration ceremony on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II, and his words are – even another 40 years later – still relevant: + "Alongside the immense number of dead rises a mountain of human suffering, suffering for the dead, suffering from wounds and mutilation, suffering from inhuman forced sterilization, suffering in nights of bombing, suffering from flight and expulsion, from rape and plunder, from forced labor, from injustice and torture, from hunger and hardship, suffering from the fear of arrest and death, suffering from loss (...). Today we remember this human suffering and commemorate it in sorrow."

It's still a lot of fun; there are some good trails in the forest, but some need some work. A lot of trees have fallen.

Easy to ride and fun. Even in winter and without a mountain bike, you can get through here easily. No drops or trees. It's a smooth ride.

Komoot renamed a ton of highlights, resulting in a load of rubbish, see here. Saarbrücken 🙈?

Better a small shelter than none at all, unfortunately nothing compared to the old Sodix Hut, for those who still knew it.

In summer, take paving stones with you because of overgrown blackberry hedges.
