September 19, 2021,Itzenplitzer Pingen Pfad 😎👍

The Itzenplitzer Pingen path is the longest of the three Redener mining paths and runs along the Itzenplitzer Weiher through the forests of the local recreation area. The path illustrates the topic of mining in the region and leads through the so-called "Pingenfelder", which give the path its name.

Well signposted, moderately difficult trail from the Itzenblitzer Weiher car park (entrance at the "Pingenpfad" gate). Sturdy shoes required, some muddy patches in or after rain. Information boards on the mining history of the region, Itzenplitzer Weiher along the route and at the end, seasonal refreshment options, mostly unpaved forest paths

A hike through mostly winding forest paths. Pure nature. 💚 Just the way I love it. 💚 In addition, many information boards about the mining in Saarland.

The Itzenplitzer Pingen Path runs along the Itzenplitzer Weiher through the forests of the local recreation area. For me one of the most beautiful ponds in the area.
The path illustrates the topic of mining in the region and leads through the so-called "Pingenfelder", which gives the path its name.

You definitely have to support the small breweries 😉. The question is, can you drink Maibock in April? 🤔
