The treetop path with a total length of 1,250 meters and the tower with a height of 23 meters winds its way through beech and oak trees in the direction of the Saarschleife. Of course, the view from the tower over the Saar loop was impressive in this great weather, a special experience.

We left late this morning because it was very foggy. Fortunately, the sun broke through quickly, and it turned out to be a lovely ride. There's quite a carnival around the Saarschleife, but the views are, of course, magnificent. And a kilometer further, you don't see a soul. Beautiful day.

Finally, another dream bow...
Such a beautiful, versatile corner of Germany! We agree that this will not be the last time we have been here. Next time with SUP and the bikes. 😊😎😎.

My own rating: 5 / 7⭐

The tour gets a deduction for 3 reasons: 1. the entrance fee to the BWP is not exactly cheap at 12 € per person, 2. there is no longer a slide there and 3. the dream loop is not quite as pretty in places.

From there you have THE view of the Saarschleife 👍.

A cozy round. At over 30 degrees there was no more 🥵

... unexpectedly soon finished work today. Immediately off to go to the Saarschleife again. The last time I was there there was a parking lot, hiking trails and of course the lookout point.
Today: large car park (chargeable), visitor center with restaurants, treetop path (chargeable anyway) and an adventure playground (who would have thought it, chargeable). The direct way to …

The "Weitblick" loop trail is a varied path with a high density of experiences in a small area. From the starting point at the Atrium, the trail leads to the Orkelfelsen with a view of the treetop tower and over the Saargau heights. Further on beautiful forest paths to the Teufelssteinhütte with a view into the Saartal near Dreisbach and …

A varied, short but beautiful hiking trail.

You pass great and beautiful vantage points.
There is a lot of variety between forest and fields (e.g. Strauss Farm).
