View of Schaumberg from the Old Rheinstraße (Roman Road) Rest Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point between Winterbach and Alsweiler you have wonderful views in all directions. Not far away you can see the summit of the Schaumberg - not the highest peak in Saarland, but certainly the most famous.

On the banks of the pond you will find a wooden lounger where you can make yourself comfortable for an idyllic break. Let the beautiful nature work on you and just switch off. :)

March 22, 2026,5-Weiher-Tour - Winterbach Saarland

There were enough parking spaces at the starting point. The tour began through the portal, initially with a loop through the forest, then a stretch of dirt road. For a good while, the hiking trail was shared with the cycle path, which was a bit stressful, as some highly motivated older e-bikers were on the way. That changed later, with …

July 18, 2021,5 Weiher Tour 😎

The circular route leads over varied paths, through wooded areas and open field landscapes that recur again and again. The hallmarks of this tour are the numerous idyllic ponds and some wonderful viewpoints.
The change from shady forest to near-natural, idyllic pond systems is always an experience. In spring you can see the water cockfoot, iris and water lily here, …

June 19, 2022,Wanderung So 19.05.2022 10:45 Winterbach 5-Weiher-Tour

Today we made Winterbach unsafe.
Winterbach is a district of St. Wendel in Saarland.
Start and finish is the sports field.
A very beautiful hike suitable for everyday use (hardly any meters in altitude), which mainly runs through the forest, past idyllically situated small ponds and towards beautiful views of the Schaumberg.

Today I hiked the 5-Pond Tour near Winterbach. It's a truly beautiful route. Highlights include not only the idyllic ponds, but also the forest paths and small bridges, some of which are truly beautiful.

August 21, 2022,Das Rätsel der 5-Weiher-Tour

The tour is one of the most beautiful premium trails in the district of WND and is accordingly popular. I've been here a number of times and always thought I'd miscounted the ponds. Today I wanted to know for sure, but the intention remained. If you walk the tour clockwise, you can see (already in the 2nd half) the 1st …

Since I had already gone for a walk with the neighbor this morning, only a short walk remained nearby. Allegedly there was also supposed to be a storm.
Since the whole of Saarland is currently a construction site, the way to Winterbach and back was longer 😏 and the weather remained constant
