Beautiful and very varied route 🤩🥾

Showing Translation

The hard core of the group started its second training session on May 1st on the “Weg des Wassers” dream loop. The path is particularly characterized by streams, rocks and wildly romantic natural landscapes. The group not only hiked 13 km past natural monuments and rock formations, but also a number of meters in altitude before stopping off at the …

Today we set off on another dream loop - the Water Path. The Dream Loop is actually just right for this weather. You walk almost exclusively on beautiful, shady paths. There was just one spot at the beginning that was quite sweaty. Right at the beginning, we climbed about 50m up a steep staircase, which then turned into a steep …

Ways of the water ... moderately difficult hike, good walking shoes are absolutely essential and, if necessary, walking sticks.
Negative: hardly any opportunity for breaks, benches are rare, panoramic views too.
A good endurance is required for the hike, nothing for "once a year hikers"

A nice tour that we hiked in the opposite direction. Today it felt like it was all uphill, which was a bit strenuous at times. Afterwards we had a good cream schnitzel with a large wheat beer, which we really deserved :)

The dream loop doesn't really deserve the name. There are other loops where you walk along the water in a much more impressive and beautiful way than today. I liked the second half better. On the first half I had very nice company of a married couple. Last but not least there were many delicious mushrooms.

A nice tour between Prims and Sollbach with beautiful views, many rest areas and some inclines.
The tour through the Sollbach valley was relaxing.
