Mertesbach Stream

The walking path is poorly visible and there is certainly no stream. I went a bit by feel here.

Traumschleife Ruwer-Hochwald loop with a touch of adventure :-)
There is a new section of the route, but we hiked the old route. Unfortunately, the new path no longer goes past the Mertesbach. It's a shame because that was a nice section of the route and it looks like the path won't go that way anytime soon. We will test …

Yesterday we made another little trip to the Palatinate. The Traumschleife is a beautiful hiking trail without major highlights. For us personally, the biggest highlight was cooling off in the river, but the route as a whole is also suitable for hotter days like yesterday.

This morning everything was white ❄❄❄ and the sky was quite cloudy, but according to the weather forecast it should stay dry and clear up a bit. So first have a leisurely breakfast and then off to Hentern to the start of the TS Ruwer-Hochwald loop at the sports field. We groped around in the fog for the first few …

Today we hiked across many meadows and through beautiful forest hiking trails around Hentern. It goes up and down the mountain, up and down again and again, crossing the Ruwer twice.
It was a very nice, varied hike of 13.3 km that was a lot of fun.

"The hike is characterized by secluded forest paths and magnificent meadow trails with views of the Black Forest High Forest and the Hunsrück. In between, mighty quartzite rock formations await, which must be climbed in sections. A certain degree of surefootedness is required. The view from the summit cross at the summit over the heights of the Black Forest High …
