Tiefenbach Trail
Highlight • Trail
The Tiefenbach path is around 15 km long and leads around the Bosenberg in St Wendel. It is characterized by many small valleys that are crossed by rustic footbridges. At the starting point is the Wendelinushof, the former farm of the Steyler missionaries, which is still managed today. Here products from the region are offered in the local goods market and in the restaurant. The Leitersweiler beeches, about 250 to 300 years old giant trees, are a very special natural monument. They line the path into the Tiefenbachtal and offer a great view of Leitersweiler and the surrounding Hunsrück heights. Clear water still bubbles in the miner's fountain today. At the Fledermauskopf you can enjoy wonderful views of the surroundings of the Sankt Wendel region. In the distance, the 568 m high Schaumberg stands out, one of the highest peaks in the region. The view also wanders over the mountain tops of the eastern Saarland and opens up into the Ostertal. After the hike, the medieval old town of St Wendel invites you to linger. It is also worth visiting the late Gothic basilica from the 14th century, in which the bones of St. Wendelinus are buried in a high grave at the altar. Source: Text information board
