February 15, 2023,Wanderung Runde von Merzkirchen nach Trassem und zurück

Went a nice round today in good weather, with wide views over the Saargau. The path led from Merzkirchen via Pellenberg (393m) to Meurich and then into the Leuktal to Trassem, we took our break on the meadow in the direction of Perdenbach. The way back led through the forest to Portz and then further back to Merzkirchen.
