Because I had to go in that direction today anyway, I took advantage of the situation and hiked the tour.😀
You can tell she's getting old.
Several markings have fallen over, are no longer legible and the paths are churned up with heavy vehicles.
Shame about the tour.

Great hiking trail. You can see a lot of the area. It started at the Harfenmühle. The only disadvantage of this hiking trail is that it leads across fields. Estimated 3 km, which can be quite strenuous in summer.
Towards the end of the tour it gets a bit steeper and the path narrower.
The information boards provide information about …

The final tour in the Hunsrück was the dream loop "STUMM - Eisenhüttenweg". A very varied, very well signposted route brought us a lot of joy while hiking. Many benches and shelters accompany the path, which led over paths, meadows and forests. The hike was great fun and I can only recommend it.👍🏻🥾

No spectacular highlights, but the tour is still entertaining and easy to walk. The weather held up, there was only a short shower 🌦. It was nice...

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Stumm family owned a total of 19 different plants in the Hunsrück.

Even with the Traumschleifen (dream loops), one can observe the "becoming and passing away". Since we set out to hike them all, new ones have been added again and again, but unfortunately some have also been lost....
With this round, we have reached a kind of (preliminary) conclusion of the Traumschleifen.
There are still very few new ones and currently …
