With 9.1 kilometers and only 300 meters of altitude, the Kirschweiler Fortress National Park Dream Loop can be hiked comfortably in a good three hours.
The scenically varied tour in the eastern part of the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park (https://www.nationalpark-hunsrueck-hochwald.de) impressively shows the beauty of the gemstone region. Highlights of the hike are the quartzite rocks of the Kirschweiler Fortress with its breathtaking vantage points and the former Celtic fortification Ringskopf.
The dream loop is connected to the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig premium hiking trail. Access routes are marked from Hettenrodt and Allenbach.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Our tips for carefree hiking pleasure
Hiking is the perfect sport. With the right clothing and the right shoes it is twice as much fun. Functional clothing, poles and breathable rucksacks are comfortable when hiking. But good shoes are indispensable. Sturdy jogging or leisure shoes are only suitable for short distances on level paths at best. For longer distances we recommend sturdy hiking boots with non-slip soles. Also remember to bring sun protection and a drink. One litre of water is ideal.
