Landal Hochwald Holiday Park

This is a good starting point for hikes in the region. There are several dream loops and many varied hiking trails nearby. And after a nice hike you can stop here. There is also a climbing park for children nearby.

We slept outside the whole weekend - except for Friday when it was 10 ° it was fun too. Another dream loop today:
At our starting point there were parking bays directly on the hiking trail. There was a lot of meadows and sometimes they were still really wet from the dew. We looked for particularly overgrown areas and I …

July 11, 2021,[230] Saar-Hunsrück: Hochwald Acht - Runde von Kell am See 🌤 3🥾

A varied tour around the Kell am See reservoir. First through meadows and along fields, then past the reservoir and then dive into the high forest. Unfortunately, some sections of the route near the Ruwer spring are difficult to walk due to the ruthless and profit-oriented forestry that is common today. Actually unsustainable for a premium route. Pity!

For a change, a dream loop. The first half was beautiful and I thought that when the snow came, it would be fantastic. However, I would only do that part. I didn't find the second part so beautiful; it was just OK. But the day's goal was achieved 🙌 with a short journey and a longer route. Unfortunately, the wide …

Ever since we turned to the Traumschleifen (and the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig) and simply decided:
They will all walk !!

Since then, the tracks have been in the planning list to be unpacked when the opportunity arises.

And here in Kell am See there is not only the opportunity for the Schillinger Panoramaweg, but also for the Hochwald Acht.

Yesterday we went on another dream loop. The Hochwald Acht is particularly beautiful at the moment if you have a particular preference for mud. There is plenty of it. If your shoes are waterproof and need cleaning anyway, it is an advantage.
We started at the hiking car park near Kell am See. I started with the southern part of …

This hike has no particular highlights other than the foresight in the first part of the hike. Also in the further course from the Ruwerquelle to the Enpunkt, the Ruwer is unspectacular or not at all to be seen. If you are planning the hike with a stop, please note that the Haus am See is closed on Tuesdays
