Enjoyable premium hiking trail in Saarland.
Despite its short distance, the Steinbachpfad premium hiking trail is quite a demanding route. Two steep descents and ascents make this trail a bit of a physical challenge, but the picturesque views and a beautiful watercourse reward the effort. The route passes orchards, wild and romantic meadows and forest edges. The terrain requires a certain degree of surefootedness, as the paths are mostly unpaved and very natural.
There is a refreshment stop near the Hiemess leisure centre.
