- 4.5 (9)·Moderate·1.9 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hrFamily-friendly loop in the Bliesgau biosphere reserve. Start is at the Naturfreundehaus car park. It is nice to stop off here after the tour.

Bizarre, weather-washed rock formations also create a particularly mythical atmosphere. The start is at the car park at the Naturfreundehaus in Kirkel. Stopping off here after the walk is possible.
