Yes, you have to sort your feet first and take the steps carefully, as the roots that have been converted into stairs on this small embankment do not comply with German building standards or the so-called convenience rule; o)

September 15, 2024,Traumschleife "Börfinker Ochsentour"

Net time approx. 2h25
The start and finish is the hiking car park between Börfink and Thranenweier on the K49.
There is a "dream loop" gate directly to the left, which was also used for entry. After a few meters, however, you notice from the signs that you are walking against the planned route.
So - if you want to …

This tour is one of the 112 Saar-Hunsrück Dream Loops and the second one Harald and I have completed so far. I have to say, I don't quite understand why this tour is considered a dream loop, and why it even received 10 more points than the oil mill tour near Morbach. At least half of the route goes through …

We did the loop in reverse with the promise of a beer stop near the end (instead of at the beginning), but the crates in the stream were unfortunately empty 😭. Still a nice hike in the Hunsrück-Hochwald--and a perfect plan for sunnier days when the stream is stocked.

April 17, 2026,TS Börfinker Ochsentour (?)

To start with... the map of the tour, the current track, the kilometer indication, all of that doesn't have much to do with the current trail marking anymore.
The Börfinker Ochsentour 2026 with less than 9km is - unfortunately one has to say - just a shadow of its former self.

We started the * TS-Börfinker Ochsentour * today at the Forellenhof-Thrauntal. From there it went first to the former Börfink extinguishing pond and the national park monument. The monument consists of approx. 70 tons of Taunus quartzite from the Hunsrück. Halfway through the hike, we were so thirsty that we had a * chilled * from the stream at the …

I was still missing this dream loop. Unfortunately, the forest is in a bad condition and many trees are lying crisscrossed or have been cut down. It hurts one's soul to see this.
