Exciting circular hiking trail in the Saarland.
The starting point is the Karlsbergbach stream south of Sanddorf. From here, a beautiful path leads through the idyllic forest to the Karlsberg pond, where there is also a Kneipp basin. Following the path above the spring, you reach the ruins of the Orangerie Rotunde and a small open space. The magnificent Karlsberg Castle once stood here, where the space is now mainly taken up by forest. In the years following the French Revolution, it was opened up to looting, set on fire with hundreds of hay wagons and plundered. Accessible by bus and train. There are places to stop for refreshments further along the route.
