The K2 tour actually goes through the Trübenbach valley, but there is a diversion due to fallen trees, but that didn't stop us. A nice stretch of the path would have been missing.

The 13.5 km long vitality tour 3-Burgen-Weg leads from the Kyrburg in the Kirner Nahetal to the Steinkallenfels and Wartenstein castles in the Hahnenbach gorge. The two castles are located on impressive rock walls (quartzite corridors) that stretch across the valley. Another destination are the free-standing, up to 30 m high quartzite rocks of the Kirner Dolomites, which protrude above the treetops above the Hahnenbachtal in several places.

Trübenbachtal nature reserve. According to legend, there is a treasure of gold buried here in the Trübenbachtal ;-) So we didn't find him.

Romantically wild brook valley. Pleasantly cool, especially in summer. The legend of the Trübenbach valley "The loyal servant Trübet guards in a hidden cave where the water falls on the rocks, until today the jewelry chest of his mistress, which went into the realm of the dead when the Kyrburg was destroyed." (Flyer by Kirn-Land)
