Ortelsbruch Moor Boardwalk

Highlight • Trail

Here, a beautiful loop leads over footbridges through the raised moor. Numerous information panels explain the origins and significance of the moors. The footbridges also feature small rest areas with benches, allowing you to immerse yourself in the lush flora without getting in anyone's way, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.

Boardwalk through the Hangmoor (Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park)

Highlight • Trail

Here a nice loop leads over footbridges through the moor. Numerous information boards provide information about the origin and significance of moors. On the jetties, there are also small resting areas with a bench, to be able to deal intensively with the lush flora without standing in the way of someone or simply enjoying the peace and quiet.

Historic Oil Mill Morbach

Highlight • Historical Site

250 year old oil mill with overshot water wheel in the Morbachtal. There are some farm implements from bygone times on the mill site. There is a holiday apartment in the mill. Unfortunately, we could only see the mill from the outside. Guided tours are probably available by appointment. In addition, you can start the dream loop oil mill circular route over 7.5 kilometers.

Start of the Traumschleife Ölmühlentour

Highlight • Trail

The hike leads from the "Historic Oil Mill" cultural monument to an ascent of over 200 meters, rewarded with stunning views of the Hunsrück landscape. A highlight of the tour is the Ortelsbruch recreation area, with walkways through the moor, the Nixenweiher pond, and other recreational facilities. This family-friendly hike is varied and leads through various forest formations.
