Great idea 💡 and perfect for a refreshment. Unfortunately, you get nothing in winter. Which of course I can understand 😊

Schastebach Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Unfortunately "empty" in winter but otherwise very good, there is even a seat (with a roof) and a toilet right next to it.

When we went on this hike in February, one thing was clear: we needed to catch up on the summer.
Beautiful, with fantastic panoramas and unspoiled nature, at times a relaxing experience.
We also encountered a European praying mantis in our garden, and it had to be included 😊...
I'd love to go on the hike 👍🏻🍀💚

Today again a dream loop in Hermeskeil in the rain ☔️ and sturn 🌬.

Maybe not the best tour in this weather, but the path itself is very cute.

Unfortunately, there was no more beer 🍺 at the Erzgrub Tränken, as this is only put down in summer.
But we had our coffee ☕️ and cherry mead 🍒🐝 with us.

Always worth a trip: excellent food and sleep in the hotel and restaurant Rüssels Landhaus and hiking on a beautiful dream loop, wooded and with many views. And for those who are thirsty: on the way there is a bathtub with drinks that are cooled by a stream - for self-service and with a cash register - a great idea …

What makes a tour special?
Perhaps the length, elevation gain, and/or special challenges like uphill and climbing sections?
The highlights, such as a castle ruin or particularly creative designs, stations, or special landscape features like gorges or waterfalls?
A mixture of all of these? - Absolutely.

A surprisingly beautiful and idyllic route around Naurath (forest).
From the beginning, the route goes through wild, romantic stream valleys and ever higher to the meadows above Nauroth.
Then it goes sometimes over meadows, sometimes through the forest or seas of foxglove, and again and again to other streams that have made their way towards the Moselle, so that you …

A truly wonderful hike, starting from the Naurath Community Center. The hike mainly followed narrow paths and forest and meadow trails. It was accompanied by numerous streams and unadulterated nature. Very relaxing. Highly recommended.

What a great dream loop👌🏼💚.

Even at this time of year it's beautifully green, thanks to the great and healthy coniferous forest 🍀🌲.

The tour was something for the eyes, for the heart and for the soul 🫶🏻👍🏻🙏🏻.
The sun also conjured up the most beautiful spring weather 🌞.

You could have "photographed yourself to death" 😂.

Beautiful hike through a great forest and past many streams - the tour should actually be called the 5 Streams Tour, as we only found name signs for the streams, but no signs on the way pointing to the valleys..... My absolute highlight were the cooled drinks by the stream. Such a nice idea, I was happy to take advantage …
