The Saar-Hunsrück Climb is a near-natural trail, 65% of which is over soft forest soil, grassy paths or along streams. However, this special quality can also lead to problems after longer periods of rain, and make parts of the trail difficult to walk on. Therefore, sturdy shoes are highly recommended.Tips and hints

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
At Forellenhof Reinhardtsmühle we find a parking lot for hikers and can start our tour directly from there. The Saar-Hunsrück-Steig runs here parallel to the Soonwaldsteig and also to the Traumschleife Hahnenbachtal Tour.
We start through the Hahnenbach valley, where we reach a vantage point with a beautiful view of the Schmidtburg castle ruins after a short time. We continue to the Celtic settlement of Altburg, where the paths of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig and the Soonwaldsteig separate again. We hike the Hahnenbach valley a bit more before we enter the Idarbach valley. We now follow the Idarbach to Rhaunen. Sometimes a bit distant, sometimes directly along the stream. In the last part it goes over the Wartenberg, which offers beautiful views of Rhaunen and surroundings at some points. The stage destination is thus reached.
