It is worthwhile to walk the section of the Trier Gallows Head Tour until you come to the 400 year old wolf oak. Partly with a wonderful view over Trier Irsch

In the meantime, Hunsrück tourism has no fewer than 114 dream loops ...
and with this one the Komoot Collections stat says:
Completed tours - 41 ...

So there is still a lot to take under the hiking soles .... 😉😊

The plan to drive to Kirn today and hike the Vitality Tour with hiking friends, while my husband goes climbing with climbing friends in the Dolomites, was already scrambled on Thursday due to the rain over the past few days.
Instead, we were supposed to go to the climbing hall in Landau, and we wanted to do a nice hike …

This morning I departed from Koblenz Central Station at 9:06 a.m. towards Trier. Unlike previous times, I didn't change trains there to reach a hiking trail. From Trier Central Station, I took bus line 88 to the starting point of my planned hike. The Tarforst, An der Mäswiese stop is about a 20-minute bus ride away.

Despite its length of 16km, it is a dream loop that is nice to walk at any time of year. I have to complain about the signage: between km 9 and 10, the signage is contradictory and misleading. Some of the km signs are also missing. This will definitely be criticized at the next certification. I was pleased with the …

I set off on a hike very early this morning, on foot. Since the Trier Galgenkopf Dream Loop runs almost directly past our front door, I chose it on the spur of the moment. In glorious hiking weather, I followed the trail and was able to enjoy the panoramic views of Trier's hills at many points.
In short...it was worth …
