Dream Loop Wilderness Trail Weiskirchen

The first 2.5 kilometers lead through the wild romantic Holzbachtal. The path always runs close to the brook and changes sides twice. Along the way, you encounter 2 impressive rock formations. After the last brook crossing, there is a short path section on a forest road. Turn right uphill on a steep, partly rocky and root-covered path along the state border to Rhineland-Palatinate.

After about 3.5 km, turn right again. The incline becomes somewhat gentler, and the path mostly runs on trails, through ever-changing forest formations along the slope of the "Schimmelkopf."

After about 6.5 km, the path turns sharply right downhill into a small hollow way. This leads further along a trail through a bright beech forest section. After a bend, the path widens and leads to a large trail junction. The wider forest road leads directly downhill along a nature reserve into the Wahnbachtal.

Turn left, and the path runs over root-strewn natural paths and along the fern and montane mixed forest-covered brook bank downhill towards Weiskirchen. At the lower valley section, the brook is crossed on a bridge.

The path continues straight uphill, parallel to a small ravine (gorge). At the end of the ravine, the profile flattens again somewhat, but the path continues slightly uphill to the next larger junction.

Continue straight at the same altitude through a coniferous forest section and then sharply left downhill past an old quarry to a small brook. Here, following the brook to the right, it goes slightly uphill.

After a short section on a forest road, turn left again into a beautiful trail section through the forest uphill (a small steeper section follows), which leads directly to the "Herberloch." A small idyllic pond in an old quarry.

Again, follow the trail along the Schlittentaler brook. After that, the path leads over wider trails and paths downhill back to Weiskirchen and the starting point of the route.

Attention:

Entering the forest and hiking the trails is fundamentally at your own risk!

Due to seasonal or weather conditions, increased surefootedness is required on certain trail sections. Please wear clothing and hiking shoes with appropriate tread adapted to the season and weather. Caution is required due to breaking branches and damaged trees. With stronger wind and in winter due to snow and ice, the dangers of falling trees and falling branches increase.
