October 31, 2025,Nr 6 ▪︎ Traumschleife Kasteler Felsenpfad (VG Saarburg) mit Zuweg aus Trassem

km 0.0 – Start at the "Vor der Klause" parking lot

I begin at the free parking lot "Vor der Klause Kastel" on König-Johann-Straße in Kastel-Staadt. It's morning, the forest paths are still fresh, and I'm excited to embark on this rocky trail. The path initially leads me gently uphill through the forest across the high plateau of the Bunter …

Tour of the hiking friends Saarland planned for today:
Moselsteig side jump King Johann round

The huge car park at the start of the tour was and remained empty. The tour is extremely beautiful - behind every bend in the path there is something new to …

August 28, 2024,Traumschleife "Kasteler Feldenpfad" in Kastel-Staadt

After a long break, I hiked a dream loop again today. The Kasteler Felsenpfad was a good choice in the heat today, as you cover most of the elevation in the shade. The path is a hiking highlight and I was very impressed.
Detours to the Ehrenfriedhof cemetery with the impressive memorial cross and to the hermitage with a burial …

Was a wonderful hike to end the day.
Great rock formations and trails. The path is partly very narrow and there are steep slopes on the side. Surefootedness and good shoes are required.
