Because sunshine and fairly mild temperatures were forecast for today, I went to Reinsfeld in the Palatinate this morning. The parking lot at the Felsenmühle was easy to find, even without a sat nav! Right at the start of the tour you can see the rock formation that gives the tour its name. Then it goes uphill, but it was …

Actually, I would have had other things to do ... But the winter was too tempting. 😬
The work doesn't go away.

Wonderful, the way with so much white magic. 🤩
However: in some places there is so much water and mud that it is better to take small curves off the path. Most of the time you can already …

A beautiful hike through the Wadrill valley.
After a short climb, you practically follow the rushing and truly idyllic stream on the rest of the path.
Simply wonderful.
I had already been informed that this path was muddy.
My expectations were far exceeded.
Without sturdy waterproof footwear, you're in trouble here.

I had to hike again out of necessity and then ended up going the wrong way 🤷🏻‍♂️
About two-thirds of the route is on beautiful paths. I didn't find the first third (or the last third if you walk the route correctly) particularly inviting due to the gravel paths and the pronounced traces of forestry.

We start at the hiking car park "Frau Holle" on the B 407 near Reinsfeld. At the beginning of the tour, the valley of the Wadrill opens up where the imposing rock formation of Frau Holle rises. According to Germanic folk belief, the eyes of Mother Holle can be seen in the lower part. We enter the valley, cross the …

You don't normally make a long journey for the Frau Holle Dream Loop, but since I've already cycled across the Hunsrück to Saarland for animal rights, a detour was no problem.

The Dream Loop offers a steep climb right at the beginning, then a leisurely follow of the Lauschbach stream to the Wadrill, where it then leads through its wide …

That was the highlight of our holiday in the Hochwald today. In the best weather, we went on the dream loop "Frau Holle" (saar-hunsrueck-steig.de/traumschleifen/frau-holle). At first it went up steeply, which caused difficulties for us with our "C" impaired lungs. Once at the top, it went back down through beautiful single trails, romantic forests to the beaver habitat. The way …

The starting point of the circular hiking trail is directly on the Hunsrückhöhenstraße, between Reinsfeld and Kell am See. There is also a car park and an information board about the route. We follow the …
