Well, that many trolls haven't found their way here.
The various paths (trolls, hunters, poachers) are lovingly designed and increase the hiker's attention.

July 20, 2023,Traumschleife " Gräfin Loretta", Frauenberg, 20.07.2023
Hiked the dream loop Countess Loretta today. An entertaining tour, sometimes steep paths and wide paths. Very nice vantage points, and plenty of places to rest. It is recommended.

Showing Translation

"Gräfin Loretta" is a historically significant hiking trail around Frauenberg and Frauenburg.
Along the way, you will experience fantastic views over the Hunsrück highlands, as well as enchanted valleys and narrow paths.
Countess Loretta von Sponheim chose Frauenburg as her retirement residence. She married Heinrich II von Sponheim-Starkenburg in 1315, who soon passed away. In economically and politically difficult times, …

Four-day hiking trip with Uli in the Hunsrück on various dream loops. 1st tour: "Countess Loretta". I really liked this varied tour. Probably because the weather was the best that day. When the sun is shining, there are many beautiful views, numerous beautifully landscaped rest areas and colorful blooming flowers and trees. The paths run across meadows and forest on …

Unfortunately, the only place to stop for refreshments was the FC Lauretta sports center - it's open on Sundays from 3 p.m.

Today we finally hiked the "Countess Loretta" dream loop, which we'd been planning for a long time.
We really enjoyed the loop and deservedly received such a high rating of 88 points from the German Hiking Institute.
The route is very varied, and we walked along many beautiful paths. Three-quarters of the route was natural trails, with hardly any gravel …

A real dream loop and very varied.

But with 32°C it was very hot today. I was grilled in places 🤣
