Limbach
In a list from 1150, Limbach is mentioned among the places that had to carry out an annual pilgrimage to Mettlach. In 1306, the knight Heinrich von Neipel renounced his tithe share in Limbach in favor of Tholey Abbey. Prehistoric traces from the Copper and Iron Ages as well as the Gallo-Roman epoch mark the land on the Primsschleife as an old cultivated land. Most of the history that can be reconstructed with written sources, Limbach was part of Lorraine (1291-1766). In 1814 Limbach became the seat of the mayor's office for two years under Austrian-Bavarian administration for the towns of Bettingen, Außen, Goldbach, Gresaubach, Neipel, Schünsch and Lindscheid. In 1817, under Prussian administration, the mayor's office moved to Bettingen. With the most recent regional reform of 1974, Limbach is part of the community of Schmelz.

Hölzershausen Chapel
In the middle of the Bohnental there was the village of Hölzershausen with a chapel, which was operated by an order of hermits before 1330, independently of the Tholey Abbey. The complex, which was still described in the 18th century under the patronage of Peter, was much more splendid than the neighboring Scheuerner church, went under in the 19th century. The "woods" ban was added to the town of Sch scrub. Today the Peterskirmes and a memorial cross still reminds of the place. Schufen is today the center of the Bohnental with its places Schänen, Neipel, Dorf, Lindscheid and Überroth and Niederhofen. The local history museum in Neipel provides information about the history of the Bohnental. Source: Text information board

Steep Forest Trail in Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
This section is an example of the behavior of mountain bikers, which is causing increasing discontent among hikers. If a section for hikers is designed with steps and terraces, it should only be used if the path is not destroyed.
After about a year, the repairs to the terraces and steps are no longer visible. Halfway through the route, the rear wheel locks up, and the hiker slides down the slope.
I'm also a mountain biker and hiker, and I live here.
This can't go on!
