December 25, 2024,Litermont Gipfel-Tour. 🎅 Traumschleife.

To burn a few calories we went to Nalbach today to hike the Litermont Summit Tour.

It was one of the best hikes this year. Very close to nature, adventurous and varied. 😎

Today I spontaneously went for a hike after lunch. I didn't want to drive so far, so I ended up at Litermont! Because I wasn't paying attention at the start, I ended up going against the suggested route! But I didn't think that was so bad, as I had the most HM right at the beginning and could just enjoy …

Adapted to the temperatures, today it was only a small but nice summit in Saarland 👍
Beautiful round on almost exclusively narrow paths.

The start and finish today is at the forest car park in Nalbach, on the Litermont.
Nalbach belongs to the district of Saarlouis in Saarland.
A hiking trail that we used to love to hike. After two years, we were looking forward to the circular hike today.

The dream loop starts at the oversized Litermont car park behind Nalsbach. (3€, day ticket only, the public order office is lurking in ambush...)
At the beginning, you can marvel at old agricultural equipment in the historical park, then you head into the forest on beautiful paths.

This time I drove a little further and hiked the dream loop Litermont summit tour near Nalbach and I didn't regret it. I parked in the official hiking car park. A day ticket costs 3 euros there and is used to maintain the trails on the tour. We started straight away on a section with historical agricultural equipment. I was …

After a short hiking break, we stayed in Saarland yesterday and tackled the Litermont summit hike.

We used the large parking lot at Litermont as our starting point and hiked in the recommended direction, against the clock. We passed the Westwall Bunker and the "Equipment Exhibition" and hiked to the "Frog Paradise," only to discover that the first highlight was …
