September 7, 2022,Nahe Skywalk & Schloss Dhaun - Panoramaweg mit genialem Ausblick

At the beginning again a proof photo of the GPS watch to document the incompetence of the recording qualities of Komoot. Komoot only measured 180 HM instead of the actual 291 HM, which is a difference of 111HM, which is not exactly wrong. Quite apart from that, the kilometers aren't right, but you get used to everything. 😎 But now …

May 21, 2026,Heute der Heiligen Hildegard nahe auf dem Weg zum Schloß Dhaun

No long drive from Kirn. And it became summery warm.
And there were ostriches too.
It was a 💯👌 tour once again.
Many picnic/rest benches, but refreshment stops are only possible on weekends.
But you don't have to starve in Kirn.

...
this tour is not a dream loop, it is a circular route which follows the Hildegard von Bingen pilgrimage trail for approx. 4 km and then leads back in an arc to the starting point.

A beautiful circular route that can easily be completed in one morning.

There are some rest benches along the edge of the path.

October 12, 2025,Kleine Wildgrafenrunde Hochstetten Nahe

Today's main goal was a visit to Dhaun Castle near Hochstetten-Dhaun, and for this we adapted the Wildgrafenweg (Wildgrafenweg) hiking trail for ourselves, or rather, walked a significantly shortened version.
The castle, or rather the former fortress, was first documented in 1215 as "castrum de Dune" (the castle on the hill).
After a (as is almost always the case) very …
