Unfortunately, I missed the trail a few times. Partly because of me, partly because the signs were overgrown and hard to see. With a little more attention, though, I managed to get there 🤗 I lost my GPS signal at one point, so part of the route is missing.

A nice tour. Except for picture 30/31. I think you can remove the "frame" now.
I was also unlucky with the summit book today. The pen there was broken. Normally I always have something to write in my big backpack. But since I no longer have to carry as much water for the dogs, I only had my normal backpack …

Today I finally hiked the Ruwer-Hochwald loop with my hiking friend Elena, after we had to postpone it three times because of bad weather! A varied route that partly leads over meadow paths and forest paths (often past very impressive rocks)! I found it very pleasant that it wasn't so warm today!

One of the most beautiful dream loops and highly recommended. Tip: Stop at the Landgasthof Kopp in Hentern.

Very nice, varied tour, sometimes exhausting 😅

We started today at the sports field in Hentern.
Hentern is a municipality in the district of Trier-Saarburg in Rhineland-Palatinate. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Saarburg-Kell


The approx. 13 km long dream loop offers beautiful panoramic views and mighty quartzite rock formations.
Very varied and very well signposted.
We hike the tour, as suggested, always clockwise.

Walked another wonderful Traumschleife in slightly less weather, you don't have to go to Specsavers, there is nothing wrong with your eyes, it was just a dark, cloudy, misty, rainy and misty episode that created a very mysterious atmosphere. 13 kilometers walked none I came across a few living souls both when arriving and leaving the parking lot, I was …
