Because the weather was better than forecast, after dinner I headed to Farschweiler for the Roman-Celtic Trail (TS Roman-Celtic Trail)! This TS is very unspectacular; I'd say about 70% is forest, the rest is meadows and field paths!! You don't really notice the approximately 400 meters of elevation gain, as the climbs are relatively manageable; if it gets too tough, …

We use our Germany ticket and are in dream loop mode...

Means translated:
Our current home is Trier and we take the bus to the Hunsrück.

Hunsrück tourism writes about this beautiful little loop:
"A cultural-historical journey through time to witnesses of epochs that are long gone. A Roman water pipe, a stretch of Roman road and Celtic burial mounds …

The tour was really worth it. A dreamy fairytale forest on great and rustic paths, and the route through the fields with great views offered variety.
We somehow missed a sign relatively early on (sports field) and took the wrong turn uphill🤷🏻‍♀️, and then went against the recommended direction...🤦🏻‍♀️ ...
But it was OK, highly recommended 😊👌🏼💯.

I made a good decision today (*specified* 😊). We were lucky with the weather, even if it briefly turned ominously gray and windy. I think the path is great: a very high proportion of forest paths with lots of moss and a stream running alongside. Consistently high feel-good factor. 👍

If you like the forest, the dream loop is nice. There are still no views. I don't know what that has to do with the Romans 🤷. Didn't find anything 🤣 Maybe I was traveling too fast 😊. Still can highly recommend the round

Another dream loop today.
The path was really great..... There were no real highlights along the way, but a really great forest with lots of green moss.
A beautiful stream accompanied us halfway along the path.
And the weather was great too. 😊
