A tour that has it all. From Deuselbach to Reinsfeld, the route crosses the entire Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park. The start and end points can be reached by bus. In the "primeval forest of tomorrow", you can see old-growth beech forests, carnivorous plants and orchids, among other things. You will also find Europe's largest population of wild cats and, with a bit of luck, red deer, roe deer and wild boar. In addition to nature, there is also plenty of history here: numerous relics are reminiscent of Roman and Celtic times.
