Highlight • Viewpoint

Here the trees open for a nice view of Siersburg. You also stand on a floor steeped in history: Once there was a Celtic fortification, the wall can still be seen.

A wonderful place to linger in the middle of trees and on the water ... as it is shady, more for summer.

The tour was long, exhausting and boring, the long way only goes through the forest, but very quiet, no traffic noise, the actual way comes from the path from the hiking car park

Today dream loop Idesbachpfad, not very exciting, but hardly any asphalt. The small detour to the Hotellerie Waldesruh was not worth it, only for hotel guests. Below the golf course you should be careful not to hit a golf ball on your head. Was very close today.

The Idesbachpfad one of the 111 dream loops in the Saar-Hunsrück Steig region. On the path you walk several mountains with different heights. There is no catering on the way, but there are several rest areas where you can enjoy the wide, beautiful views.

The Idesbach path has been on my agenda for a long time and today it finally worked out.
The path offers a lot of forest, some meadow sections and some beautiful views of the surrounding towns.
It goes up and down a lot, and there are rest stops along the way.
The only downside: a great hiking highlight ("Tripsborn") was …

The Idesbachpfad was long overdue - and due today. 😊 With very good conditions, weather was mild and dry, even with sun on the last third.
The trail is quite beautiful, it has many forest trails and quite imposing ridges/gorges. And in addition to its length, it also goes steeply uphill and downhill. I had to be careful here and …

Hey guys.
That was a great route today. For me, of course. The right length, great gorge and beautiful paths. The only thing missing was a castle ruin. 😆
I had to improvise a bit. The actual path simply doesn't exist anymore. Must have been washed away.
And the detour was too long for me.
So until next time.
Greetings …

I did this beautiful tour with dear Tanja from the Monday girls. I was the hiking support for Manu and Steffie, neither of whom could. It should be the Idesbachpfad - a lot has already been heard about it. I already know the landscape around Rehlingen - Siersburg and knew that it was wonderful there. But that it is so …
