April 1, 2025,Vitaltour 'Bärenroute'

Together with my dad, I hiked the "Bear Route" vitality tour, a roughly 13 km circular route near Bärenbach (between Idar-Oberstein and Kirn). First, we follow a narrow path up to the Naumburg Castle ruins. Past the legendary Dietersfels, the trail climbs steadily to an old Roman road, whose elevation offers beautiful views (including Donnersberg). The trail descends to a …

A beautiful, varied hike from Bärenbach in perfect weather. It was a wonderful walk through the fields with stunning views, as well as along lovely paths past the large and small Hachenfelsen rocks. At Naumburg, we had a short cake break and then hiked through the forest at Dieterfelsen up to the windy Donnersbergblick 🤩. The descent to Bärenbach was …

After the Bärenbachpfad and the Bären-Steig, today it was time for the Bear Route vitality tour. After that, all that's missing is the bear trail - at least in the surrounding area... I was pretty lucky with the weather today. There was a bit of almost everything: sun, sleet, gusts of wind, rain. There was even a rainbow to be …

Today we were able to hike almost with the whole group again 😃
This time we went to the Naheland, more precisely to Bärenbach near Kirn.
We liked the Vitaltour Bärenroute there and it has everything a nice tour needs: castle, rocks, beautiful views and varied paths.
Only at Dietersfeld was it very loud due to the B41 and we …
