  1. #1 - Urwald Tour

    4.5 (144)·Moderate·4.9 mi·Est. 2–2.5 hr
    Quiet loop in the Steinbachtal-Netzbachtal forest reserve, Saarland This beautiful route is also suitable for families with children and leads into the beginning of the jungle ("Urwald"), in which nature is left to itself and returns to its origins. The partly wide, partly narrow forest paths lead in the shade and almost exclusively through the forest. With a little luck, small wild animals can be seen and it is almost surprising that all this is located on the outskirts of the lively city...

    Beautiful loop in Saarland Start is the parking lot near the hunting lodge Philippsborn. It is just pure nature on this hike the hustle and bustle of everyday life can be forgotten. Muddy sections of the trail and fallen trees should be expected, especially on the Netzbach, which has been left in its natural state with its swampy swampy forests.
