A very beautiful, varied tour and always wide views as far as the Vosges... However, today it was (almost) impossible to walk in places... Lots of water and mud!
But... It was fun 😊👍🏻

This route is actually a premium route, but at this time of year I can only recommend the route to a limited extent! Due to the long rainy season, the paths are completely muddy almost everywhere, so you definitely have to take a few shoes with you to change. Otherwise it is a very scenic area, you can even see …

A varied and beautiful trail, we all agreed. However, the signage was a bit poor in some places. We got lost in the same spot as five years ago 🤦‍♀️. Fortunately, it wasn't a big detour. At another point, the trail was closed, but unfortunately, no alternative route was indicated. We had to guess, and the red and white barrier …

Mud, mud and loam at least half the way. I'm sure I won't run anymore.

The Blies Border Trail is a diverse journey through nature, history, and border experiences. Even at the starting point, you can sense the tranquility of the place, before the trail leads through shady forests and past exciting stops such as the bat trail and the boules park. Time and again, small windows into the past open up – whether at …

Start/Finish Sitterswald, hiking car park, roundabout L106/Nauwieserstr.; Nauwieserstr. 1a, 66271 Kleinblitterdorf
The path is strenuous in parts of the ascents and descents - a good level of fitness is required - it is moderately difficult. It goes over meadows, forest paths and trails, which are often rocky and muddy, even in dry weather - waterproof and non-slip hiking boots are …

A nice spring round. We walked this route a few years ago and today we walked the route in reverse order. Blue skies in places and very pleasant temperatures. The Blies still had a lot of water and the Scottish highland cattle were again very worth seeing. However, the path was very muddy and not that easy to walk. Nevertheless, …

Hello everyone, we were on tour in Saarland today. According to the responsible gentlemen, this round is classified as a premium hiking trail. Our opinion is far from it. It goes about 70% on mediocre forest paths and 20% on mediocre meadow paths, but that's it. The last 2km back on forest paths. We cannot recommend this hike. Best regards, …
